Description

Arundhati Roy’s debut novel is a modern classic that has been read and loved worldwide. Part family saga, part forbidden love story, and part political drama, it follows an affluent Indian family in Ayemenem, Kerala, whose lives are irrevocably changed by one day in 1969. The twins Estha and Rahel, along with their beautiful cousin Sophie Mol, witness events that lead to a forbidden liaison and tragedies that reveal big things lurking unsaid in a country drifting toward unrest. Lush, lyrical, and unnerving, The God of Small Things is an award-winning landmark that launched Roy’s celebrated career as a writer and commentator.
