India, fine anni Sessanta: Amnu, figlia di un alto funzionario, lascia il marito, alcolizzato e violento, per tornarsene a casa con i suoi due bambini. Ma, secondo la tradizione indiana, una donna divorziata è priva di qualsiasi posizione riconosciuta. Se poi questa donna commette l'innaccettabile errore di innamorarsi di un paria, un intoccabile, per lei non vi sarà più comprensione, né perdono. Attraverso gli occhi dei due bambini, Estha e Rahel, il libro ci racconta una grande storia d'amore che entra in conflitto con le convenzioni.

A vivid slow motion drama

4 stars

This book had been on my lists for ages, before I even knew who was Arundhati Roy, and I was surprised that it took me a while to like it. There was something holding me back a little. It's a slow drama, like a train crash in slow motion, often foreshadowed through the labyrinthine construction between the present and different times in the past. Eventually, it started to make sense and the incredible writing gripped me.

Review of 'The God of Small Things' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

A classic of post-colonial modern literature! Would give 4.5 if I could - took me a while to get into it but by the end was intensely moved
