About This Book
Compared favorably to the works of Faulkner and Dickens, Arundhati Roys
debut novel is a modern classic that has been read and loved worldwide.
Equal parts powerful family saga, forbidden love story, and piercing
political drama, it is the story of an affluent Indian family forever
changed by one fateful day in 1969. The seven-year-old twins Estha and
Rahel see their world shaken irrevokably 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.

The international publishing sensation of 1997 -- translated into 18
languages -- a magical, sophisticated tour de force now available in a
stunning Vintage Canada edition.
The God of Small Things heralds a voice so powerful and original that it
burns itself into the reader's memory. Set mainly in Kerala, India, in
1969, it is the story of Rahel and her twin brother Estha, who learn
that their whole world can change in a single day, that love and life
can be lost in a moment. Armed only with the invincible innocence of
children, they seek to craft a childhood for themselves amid the
wreckage that constitutes their family. Sweet and heartbreaking, ribald
and profound, this is a novel to set beside those of Salman Rushdie and
Gabriel Garcia Marquez. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
