Epic historical novels tell the stories of the cultures they arose from and the stories of the people who lived those histories. In doing so, they often provide an alternative perspective on the details of that long ago past. That’s what we’re discussing this summer, but they’re not generally what you’d call “beach reads.” For this course, we’re traveling to Australia, with Kate Grenville’s A Room Made of Leaves, and to India, with Abraham Verghese’s Covenant of Water.
