The God of Small Things

The year is 1969 in the state of Kerala, and in the town of Ayemenem, twins Rahel and Estha watch their world fall apart. Their mother Ammu loves a man she cannot have. Their cousin Sophie Mol arrives from England. And the ‘Love Laws’ — the laws that lay down who should be loved, and how, and how much — are about to be broken with devastating consequences. Arundhati Roy’s unforgettable debut won the Booker Prize and is celebrated for its lush, poetic prose and its fierce moral intelligence. A book that changes you.
