THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS

Category : Books
Genre : Literature & Fiction
Author : Arundhati Roy

A very complicated book, need a lot of energy to understand this book. The story is just simple, about a family in Kerala (small city in India). But, the characters are very complex and their life as well. The father is a gentleman but he tortures his wife. The son is Marxist but he is hypocrite, he like to sleeps with his employee. The mother is a female who believes in patriarchy system. The daughter is a widow with two children, and she is in love with a man from different caste in society. This is a very complex book. We can find a lot of issues in this story, with the background of Indian society in 1960s. We can see how hypocrite is the society, we can find about caste in society, the domination of patriarchy system, and also the issue about child molester.
