From the British reviews of The God of SmallThings

A compelling story which somehow marries the deepest, smallest personal emotions with an epic narrative. There were times I had to stop reading this novel because I feared so much for the characterss or I had to reread a phrase or a page to memorise its grace.

A gripping tale of love and loss .. in Thc God of Small Things, Roy has given us a novel moored in anguish but told with compelling wits eroticism and consummate tenderness.

UTTARA CHOUDHURY, Financial Times

A beautifully fractured tale .. infused with luminous imagery, wry wit and butterfly-delicate charactersEsquire

Thc God of SmallThings draws the reader into a mesmeri ing world, conjured up in a lush, lyrical prose that sets the nerves tingling

SARAH STRICKLANDs Evening Standard

Roy is truly gifteds not just in her ability to make words playful and meaning mischievous but to use this to create a language texture that bowls you alongs gathering momentum like the narrative itself... Witty and vivid, full of richs memorable images.. a verbal stream of steady beaut
