A review by kaydio
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

4.0

"And on Ammu's Road (to Age and Death) a small, sunny meadow appeared. Copper grass spangled with blue butterflies. Beyond it, an abyss." p319
Beautiful writing, but so tragic. The tragedy is unavoidable and you know it's coming from near the beginning, yet feel powerless to stop it, because it is at least in part based in the caste system that has existed for generations.
