ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
"The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy tells the story of fraternal twins, Estha and Rahel, and their family in Ayemenem, Kerala. The narrative, which shifts between the past and present, explores the tragic consequences of a forbidden love affair, caste prejudice, and societal norms. A visit from their English cousin, Sophie Mol, sets off a chain of events that lead to devastating loss and heartbreak for the twins and their mother, Ammu. The story examines the themes of power, injustice, childhood innocence, and the destructive nature of secrets and societal expectations, all set against the backdrop of India's complex history and social structure. The narrative is not a linear recounting of events, but rather a weaving together of memory and reality.
