"The God of Small Things" is a novel by Indian author Arundhati Roy. Published in 1997, it is a semi-autobiographical work that explores the lives of two twins, Rahel and Estha, growing up in Kerala, India. The novel weaves together themes of family, caste discrimination, forbidden love, and the impact of historical events on personal lives. It employs a nonlinear narrative structure, moving back and forth in time, and is known for its rich language, vivid imagery, and social commentary. The story unfolds against the backdrop of post-colonial India's complex social and political landscape, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read. "The God of Small Things" won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 1997, bringing international acclaim to Arundhati Roy's debut novel.
