moiraburke 's review for:
The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy
A beautiful, non-linear story of young twins in India amidst cultural revolution and ghastly prejudice. Like many of my favorite authors, Roy crafts clever neologisms, primarily compound words uttered by chastising Indian mothers and grandmothers in this case. Though the plot centers on unraveling the circumstances surrounding the death of a cousin, the background stories of other characters are fascinating, particularly that of Baby Kochamma. Highly recommended.
