The God of Small Things
Get your copy of The God of Small Things - by Arundhati Roy
Editorial Reviews
(Amazon) In her first novel, award-winning Indian screenwriter Arundhati Roy conjures a whoosh of wordplay that rises from the pages like a brilliant jazz improvisation. The God of Small Things is nominally the story of young twins Rahel and Estha and the rest of their family, but the book feels like a million stories spinning out indefinitely; it is the product of a genius child-mind that takes everything in and transforms it in an alchemy of poetry. The God of Small Things is at once exotic and familiar to the Western reader, written in an English that's completely new and invigorated by the Asian Indian influences of culture and language.
I suggested this one, because it is one of my absolute favourites!

The book on this list that I cherish the most so far, is this one.
I don't know if it is because of the the way the text is organized or the subtle emotions or even the exotic 'taste' of this novel - but I just loved it!
