  • Roots of Unhappiness

    Plot Summary: This highly stylized novel tells the story of one very fractured family from Aymanam, Kerala. Through flashbacks and flash forwards. Rahel ahend Estha are fraternal twins whose emotional connection to one another is stronger than that of most siblings. As though they were a rare breed of Siamese twins, physically separate, but with joint identities. Now, years later, Rahel has a memory of waking up one night giggling at Estha’s funny dream. Their childhood household hums with hidden antagonisms and pains that only family members can give one another. Blind Mammachi, the twins’ grandmother is a widow who suffered years of abuse at the hands of her highly respected husband, and who has a fierce one-sided Oedipal connection with her son, Chacko. Baby Kochamma, Rahel and ...

  • Obscurity at its best...

    Caution: This story should be rated PG-13 for some of the content within its pages. Also, please be prepared to give the story multiple readings. Reading the novel through once will do the understanding of the story any justice. If you have a hard with child deaths, or childhood sexual trauma, you may want to reconsider reading it. But overall, this really makes you think that about how everyone in the world no matter their cultural background is not so different from yourself.

  • God of ALL Things

    This story is extremely well written. Roy has mastered the art of storytelling, and it shows in this tale of two children and their lives in India. She does a great job of weaving native customs and tradition, politics and civil unrest into the fabric of the story. While reading this story, before you know it, you will have learned something, you will have felt something, you will have changed somehow. I like this story because it is the same story that minorities face in America-racism, elitism, and betrayal, and the many ways that family can influence these issues. It gave me a broader perspective on the whole light/dark, white/black color issue. Color bias is not an American issue, it is a world issue, as brought home in this story. I bought this book because I wanted to share the ...

  • My favorite novel

    The God of Small Things is truly one of my favorite books. It takes place in India and addresses some uncomfortable things about the developing world, as well as offering some history, a love story and a mystery. The author also won the Booker prize for this novel. I highly recommend it.

  • The God of Small Things

    This is one of the best books I have ever read. I have read many books. Roy plays the language like a fine instrument. Her style makes for a wonderfully delightful, creative and incisive handling of disturbing subject matter. I have bought several copies online and sent them to friends to read. Highly recommended!
