Received today in the post from Hellie, thank you!
From the blurb (Review from the Observer):
"'The God of Small Things' explores the tragic fate of a family which 'tampered with the laws thay lay down who should be loved, and how'. They are an eclectic mix: grandmother Mammachi; her spoilt Anglophile son, Chacko; her daughter Ammu; Ammu's inseperable twins Estha and Rahel; and Baby Kochamma, grand-aunt, determined to spread the bitter seeds of her early disappointment in love. From its mesmerising opening sequence, it is clear that we are in the grip of a delicious new voice...a voice of breathtaking beauty. 'The God of Small Things achieves genuine, tragic resonance. It is, indeed, a masterpiece.'

This took me a while to get into, but I'm glad I did. When I'd learned about the character's history it all began to make sense and fall into place. The plot was good, the ending I didn't predict and the writing in places was just absolutely beautiful.
