Amazon.co.uk Review
In her first novel, award-winning Indian screenwriter Arundhati Roy conjures a whoosh of wordplay that rises from the pages like a brilliant jazz improvisation. The God of Small Things is nominally the story of young twins Rahel and Estha and the rest of their family, but the book feels like a million stories spinning out indefinitely; it is the product of a genius child-mind that takes everything in and transforms it in an alchemy of poetry. The God of Small Things is at once exotic and familiar to the Western reader, written in an English that's completely new and invigorated by the Asian Indian influences of culture and language.

I read this book quite a while ago and unfortunately lost my copy. I felt it was one of those books which need to be shared on bookcrossing as it covers many aspects of life.

RELEASE NOTES:

At the BC convention sometime over the weekend of 18-20 April

Happily snatched it from the book table at the bc anniversary convention 2008 in London :-)

Read another copy some years ago and liked it. This one will be read some day, too, but not too soon, so: PC. Thanks a lot!!

Will take this one to the World Convention in Dublin :)

Taken from the book buffet at the convention for tomorrow's release walk.
