__THE GOD OF THE SMALL THINGS__

This is a novel about three generations of a family from the region of Kerala in the south of India, in very politically agitated times, but in a country whose essences seem eternal.

The author, Arundhati Roy is an architect and lives in New Delhi at present. She has written scripts for tv series and films, but this is her first novel. She was awared the "Booker Prize, 1997" for this extraordinary work.

The book is particularly attractive for her original prose and literary resources which gets the reader enthralled from the beginning to the end.

She is especially brilliant in the recreation of children´s world: games, fears, imagination & hopes.

In short, this novel approach us to the magic, mistery, beauty, horror and sadness of modern India, full of an intense realism and a splendid imaginative richness.
