Rahel et Estha Kochamma, deux jumeaux de huit ans, vivent en Inde, entourés de leur grand-mère, Mammachi, qui fabrique des confitures trop sucrées, de l'oncle Chacko, un coureur de jupons invétéré, esprit romantique converti au marxisme pour les besoins de son portefeuille, de la grand-tante Baby Kochamma, qui nourrit un amour mystique pour un prêtre irlandais, et de leur mère Ammu, désertée par son mari, qui aime secrètement Velutha, un Intouchable. Un drame va ébranler leur existence et les séparer. Comment réagir quand, à huit ans, on vous somme de savoir «qui aimer, comment et jusqu'où» ? Comment survivre quand, après un événement affreux dont on a été témoin, on vous demande de trahir la vérité pour l'amour d'une mère ?
Un récit envoûtant, plein d'humour et d'émotion, servi par une écriture neuve et poétique, qui recrée le monde de l'enfance - celui de l'imaginaire et de la liberté.

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.
