Küçük Şeylerin Tanrısı

Arundhati Roy received the Booker Prize, England's most prestigious literary award, in 1997 with her novel The God of Small Things. With a lyrical language, a poetic expression, and the words he used like a magician, he told the breathtaking drama of a family destroyed by a forbidden love. Ammu, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy Hindu family, falls in love with a worker who works for her family. They are connected to each other with an unstoppable, unruly, passionate love. However, the young man is in the Untouchables class, from the lowest level of society. In this love that they know has no end, they are content with small things and cannot think about the future. The young woman's twin children, a girl and a boy, from her estranged husband are natural witnesses of this love. The events revolve around these fraternal twins who are inseparable from each other, and are told through the girl's eyes. Arundhati Roy weaves her fiction with flashbacks and brings it to an unexpected, terrifying ending. In this story, which takes place in the south of India at the end of the 1960s, we find in the background an India that has just gained its independence from England and is in political turmoil, the frightening conditions of the Caste System and social taboos. The God of Small Things, which caused great controversy when it was published in India because the love and love scenes between a Christian Hindu woman and a lower-caste man contradicted Indian traditions and customs, is an unforgettable novel that can be read in one breath.
