Beschreibung

The beloved debut novel about an affluent Indian family forever changed by one fateful day in 1969, from the author of The Ministry of Utmost Happiness

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • MAN BOOKER PRIZE WINNER

Compared favorably to the works of Faulkner and Dickens, Arundhati Roy’s modern classic is equal parts powerful family saga, forbidden love story, and piercing political drama. The seven-year-old twins Estha and Rahel see their world shaken irrevocably by the arrival of their beautiful young cousin, Sophie. It is an event that will lead to an illicit liaison and tragedies accidental and intentional, exposing “big things [that] lurk unsaid” in a country drifting dangerously toward unrest. Lush, lyrical, and unnerving, The God of Small Things is an award-winning landmark that started for its author an esteemed career of fiction and political commentary that continues unabated.

More of a social study than a family or love story. It's written in breathtakingly poetic language, with creative new word creations and a vivid description of small town India. Tough and sad but in its hard view on the world and in its way of showing us that it's not always us who have the control over our lives amazingly beautiful in a way that you get the feeling that the writing style and story doesn't match at all. That made it a very interesting read for me.

This one got an extra star for the unbelievably beautiful prose. Almost forgot that there wasn't really a plot.
