The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy
Arundhati Roy's Booker-winning debut, The God of Small Things, follows seven-year-old twins Estha and Rahel through one catastrophic season in 1969 Kerala. It's a literary family saga and tragic love story told in fractured, spiraling prose for readers who want sentences that work as hard as the story does.
