The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy (Book Analysis) : Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

Unlock the more straightforward side of The God of Small Things with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, an intensely moving portrait of life and love in modern-day India. It tells the story of a pair of twins who were separated during childhood after a series of traumatic events that range from sexual assault to the death of their cousin. However, the true horrors of the novel are rooted in the oppressive laws that govern relationships in Indian society and keep individuals of different social classes apart. The God of Small Things is Arundhati Roy’s debut novel. It remained her only published work of fiction for 20 years, until the publication of her second novel The Ministry of Utmost Happiness in 2017.
