The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

The God of Small Things
Arundhati Roy
1997, Flamingo, London
0006550681
340p.

The story of an Indian family set in the 1960s.

It's very hard to describe the plot of this book without losing something, so I won't bother. The writing is beautiful. And the story is intricately woven. I loved how we're never given the entirety of anything, we have to be patient and read on - the plot doubles back on itself and jumps forwards and backwards with such ease.
