Arundhati Roy's 1997 debut novel, The God of Small Things, is a semi-autobiographical, award-winning saga of forbidden love, family, and politics. Set in Kerala, India, the story centers on twins Rahel and Estha, whose childhoods are irrevocably altered by the arrival of their cousin Sophie. The twins' perspectives, as children and devastated adults, are woven together with the past and present to explore how seemingly small events can have lasting consequences. Minimal signs of wear for its age. ■■ First HarperPerennial edition published 1998 ■■
