A review by candlereader
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

5.0

It seems that people either love or hate this book, and based on reviews, I expected to be underwhelmed. I was wrong. The vivid imagery, the lyrical prose, the carefully woven web of plot, the tenderness and the beauty--it all coalesced for me into an unforgettable and deeply moving story. As with many books, it took me a few chapters to really get invested, but once I was in, I was way in.
