The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

5.0

A story that starts at the end and ends in the middle, weaving together snippets of the past and present to tell one family's chilling demise. Roy's imagery reveals harsh truths while also highlighting and challenging the tensions between how we process toxicity, hardship, and political controversy both outwardly and internally. No matter how challenging Roy's prose may be; however, The God of Small Things ultimately emphasizes the small details and the power of time when it comes to healing to inspire hope.
