The God of Small Things

Arundhati Roy's novel The God of Small Things is a family drama set in India. It's Roy's first book. It's a narrative about the childhood experiences of fraternal twins whose lives are ruined by the "Love Laws", which dictate "who should be loved, how, and how much". The book delves into how minor details influence people's behavior and lives. The work also exhibits its sarcasm against casteism, which is a prevalent kind of prejudice in India. It was awarded the Booker Prize in 1997.

Arundhati Roy's modern classic is equal parts compelling family history, forbidden love tale, and searing political drama, and has been compared favorably to the works of Faulkner and Dickens. Estha and Rahel, seven-year-old twins, have their world turned upside down by the arrival of their gorgeous little cousin, Sophie. It is an occasion that will result in an unlawful connection and unintentional catastrophes, exposing "huge things linger unspoken" in a country on the verge of instability. The God of Small Things is an award-winning masterpiece that launched its author's illustrious career in fiction and political criticism, which continues uninterrupted.
