By Arundhati Roy God Of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
A vividly told, non-linear family saga set in 1960s Kerala that follows the childhood memories of twins whose lives are shattered by a tragic sequence of events. The story explores forbidden love, social taboos and the oppressive effects of caste, class and patriarchal norms through the experiences of their mother, an illicit lover from a lower caste, and other relatives, culminating in a catastrophic incident that haunts them into adulthood. Rich, lyrical prose examines how small, everyday moments and overlooked injustices cascade into lasting devastation.
