A review by ruthmoog
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
dark
funny
slow-paced
3.0
The book tells how the actions of a manipulative bad-actor ripple through the lives of others. I found the time perspective a little confusing, but I liked the motifs throughout the book (Popeye, love in Tokyo...) sometimes adding humour, other times more sinister.
I didn't enjoy it much, but before this book I had no idea about banana jam!
