Es la historia de tres generaciones de una familia de la región de Kerala en el sur de la India que se desperdiga por el mundo y se reencuentra en su tierra natal. Una historia que es muchas historias. La de la niña inglesa Sophie Moll que se ahogó en un río y cuya muerte accidental marcó para siempre las vidas de quienes se vieron implicados. La de dos gemelos Estha y Rahel que vivieron veintitrés años separados. La de Ammu la madre de los gemelos y sus furtivos amores adúlteros. La del hermano de Ammu marxista educado en Oxford y divorciado de una mujer inglesa. La de los abuelos que en su juventud cultivaron la entomología y las pasiones prohibidas. Ésta es la historia de una familia que vive en unos tiempos convulsos en los que todo puede cambiar en un día y en un país cuyas esencias parecen eternas.

Work Description
The God of Small Things is the debut novel of Indian writer Arundhati Roy. It is a story about the childhood experiences of fraternal twins whose lives are destroyed by the "Love Laws" that lay down "who should be loved, and how. And how much." The book explores how the small things affect people's behavior and their lives. The book also reflects its irony against casteism, which is a major discrimination that prevails in India. It won the Booker Prize in 1997.
