By Arundhati Roy The God of Small Things

THE BRILLIANTLY PLOTTED STORY UNCOILS WITH AN AGONIZING SENSE OF FOREBODING AND INEVITABILITY. YET NOTHING PREPARES YOU FOR WHAT LIES AT THE HEART OF IT. THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS TAKES ON THE BIG THEMES-LOVE. MADNESS. HOPE. INFINTE JOY. HERE IS A WRITER WHO DARES TO BREAK THE RULES. TO DISCLOSE RECEIVED RHYTHMS AND CREATE THE LANGUAGE SHE REQUIRES, A LANGUAGE THAT IS AT ONCE CLASSICAL AND UNPRECEDENTED. ARUNDHATI ROY HAS GIVEN US A BOOK THAT IS ANCHORED TO ANGUISH, BUT FUELED BY WIT AND MAIC.
