The God of Small Things

by Arundhati Roy

Arundhati Roy’s acclaimed debut novel The God of Small Things follows twins Estha and Rahel and the lasting consequences of a pivotal childhood tragedy. Set in Kerala, India, the novel combines an intimate family story with an exploration of caste, forbidden love, social convention and political tension, told through Roy’s distinctive lyrical and nonlinear prose.

The novel won the 1997 Booker Prize and became an internationally recognized work of contemporary literary fiction. This Canadian Vintage edition was published in 2012 and carries ISBN 978-0-307-36331-2. The copyright-page number line indicates a first printing of this edition.
