"The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy, published in 1997, is a Booker Prize-winning novel set in Kerala, India, during the 1960s. It tells the story of fraternal twins Rahel and Estha, whose lives are irrevocably changed by a series of tragic events stemming from familial and societal pressures. The novel intricately weaves themes of forbidden love, caste discrimination, and the lasting impact of trauma through a non-linear narrative. Roy's poetic prose and vivid portrayal of the social and political landscape of Kerala enrich this poignant exploration of how small, seemingly insignificant things shape the broader course of life.
