内容简介《水之契约》是一部以南印度喀拉拉邦为背景的长篇小说。1900年，基督教家庭出身的12岁少女玛丽亚玛父亲离世，叔叔打算将她嫁给一个40岁的鳏夫。她和母亲搭乘小舟来到陌生的海边村落，嫁入了帕兰比尔家。从此，她的名字被一个新的称呼'大阿嫲奇'取代。 18岁时，大阿嫲奇生下女儿，她尚沉浸在初为人母的喜悦中，继子却溺水而亡，这个家族的秘密也呼之欲出：每一代中至少有一个人因'水'而死亡。儿子菲利伯斯出生，也在对水的恐惧中长大。他娶了美丽而才华横溢的艺术家埃尔茜。埃尔茜离奇失踪，把尚在襁褓中的女儿留给大阿嫲奇。大阿嫲奇的一生亲历了出生缺陷、听力丧失、天花、麻风病、鸦片成瘾带给家人的伤害，见证了三代人悲伤挣扎、印度独立运动的历史动荡与种性制度遗留的创伤，直到孙女成长为一名优秀的医生，为家族迎来解开水之诅咒的曙光。
