Rahel - Ammu - Estha!
"They all tampered with the laws that lay down who should be loved and how. And how much."
I spent the weekend reading this book by Arundhati Roy, the book is a semi-Autobiography and captures most of her life's experiences through the character of Rahel. Ammu is her mother, and Estha her fictional brother, Rahel and Estha are "Dizygotic" twins.
The story is about a Syrian Christian family in the Kottayam district of Kerala in the 60's when Communism was at its peak, the novel also captures a prominent facet of Kerala life, the caste system.
The God of Small Things- anchored to anguish, but a good read.
