THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW – MAY 14, 2023

Abraham Verghese’s Sweeping New Fable of Family and Medicine

This illustration, in shades of deep green, shows a young woman standing at the edge of a lush landscape with ferns or palm fronds surrounding her and joining above her head.

“The Covenant of Water” follows three generations of a close-knit and haunted family in southwestern India.

Pablo Picasso, the Pariah of Paris

This sepia photograph of a young Picasso shows him standing in front of a run-down Parisian building.

As Annie Cohen-Solal shows in “Picasso the Foreigner,” the Spanish master was always under suspicion in France, simply for being not-French.
