The God of small things is a most famous novel by Arundhati Roy. Set in a small town in India."The God of Small things" revolves around fraternal twins Rahel and Estha, who are separated for 23 years after the fateful hours in which their cousin drowns, their mothers affair is revealed, and  her lover is murdered. This book has structure. Lots of it. She effectively creates a language of her own, a juvenile lucid language which complement the wistful mood of the book beautiful. The book is really big thing might be really funked up. Most of time the small things more than make up for it.
