The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy
THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS by ARUNDHATI ROY
Winner of the Booker Prize in 1997.
This is a political book about India. This is a book about children growing up with a dysfunctional family. This is a love story. This is a tragic story of loss. It’s about many things, in fact, and it touches many nerves.
Grief and guilt play a big part in how these characters live now and this shapes the narrative which is non-linear and omniscient in its voice, enabling the reader to delve into the minds of these characters.
At times I found this book extremely uncomfortable, unfathomably beautiful and tragic.
It’s clear to see how it could have gone on to win one of the most prestigious literary prizes.
