The God Of Small Things is Arundhati Roy’s debut novel and is a alluring work of genius of language. Roy builds the story around one central theme: Things can change in a day. Set in a small town in the state of Kerala, India , the novel moves back and forth from present day to the past, building to an abrupt and horrifying end with trepidation sodden in unique language. Roy explores the embargo of love between castes and the violence of the hatchling Communist movement and both the topics made this novel controversial in India. This book is a great read and also helpful for improving the vocabulary.
