Comrade Kay reviewed The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Review of 'The God of Small Things' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Till the tenth chapter, I was disconnected to the frustrating, non -linear narrative. The whole time I told the character - "people die, kid. This is not grief. Don't exaggerate. This is boring. "
The story picks up and the same annoying (remains annoying) narrative draws the reader to the dark, inside jokes. By the end, I learnt that senseless deaths are inconsolable.
The book ends beautifully. Never have I had such closure despite nothing really changing for the characters. The strongest last chapter.. Nothing else could have had that impact
