Publisher's Note
"A banquet for all the senses", said "Newsweek" of this bestselling and Booker Prize-winning literary novel--a richly textured first book about the tragic decline of one family whose members suffer the terrible consequences of forbidden love.

"Offers such magic, mystery and sadness that, literally, this reader turned the last page and decided to reread it. Immediately. It's that hauntingly wonderful."
-- USA Today
"Outstanding. A glowing first novel."
-- Newsweek
"A splendid and stunning debut."
-- Washington Post Book World
"A novel of real ambition must invent its own language, and this one does.... A Tiger Woodsian debut."
-- John Updike, The New Yorker
"The quality of Ms. Roy's narration is so extraordinary -- at once so morally strenuous and so imaginatively supple -- that the reader remains enthralled all the way through."
-- New York Times Book Review

Industry Reviews
"Unfortunately, Roy has dressed much of her book in an ambitious gorgeousness that she often lacks the dexterity to manage. She inflates story into epic, the modest magic of perception into an occasional clumsy piece of magic realism, and the erotic current between pickle princess and carpenter into an avalanche, resembling a Hollywood musical crescendo."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Richard Eder (06/01/1997)

"Although 'The God of Small Things' opens with memories of a family grieving around a drowned child's coffin, there are plenty of other intimate horrors still to come....Yet the quality of Ms. Roy's narration is so extraordinary--at once so morally strenuous and so imaginatively supple--that the reader remains enthralled all the way through to its agonizing finish."
New York Times Book Review - Alice Truax (05/25/1997)

"[S]ome of Roy's finest touches spring from her skill at registering the unsayable terrors lodged below the surface of everyday things, in particular, the terrors which take hold of the children....'The God of Small Things' is a cleverly crafted, often witty and moving first novel by a talented new writer."
Times Literary Supplement - Shirley Chew (05/03/1997)

"If Ms. Roy is sometimes overzealous in foreshadowing her characters' fate, resorting on occasion to darkly portentous clues, she proves remarkably adept at infusing her story with the inexorable momentum of tragedy....As rendered in this remarkable novel, the 'relative smallness' of her characters' misfortunes remains both heartbreaking and indelible."
Kakutani

"Like a devotionally built temple, 'The God of Small Things' builds a massive interlocking structure of fine, intensely felt details."
Updike

"If the ending, when it comes, is slightly too predictable, it doesn't matter, because, like everything else in this remarkable meditation on storytelling and thwarted desire, it's carefully set up and beautifully rendered."
Todd

"A rarity in post-colonial fiction: a largely-conceived and ambitious book about private life."
Gorra

"Roy, an architect and screenwriter who grew up in Kerala, capably shoulders the burdens of caste and tradition, a double weight that crushes some of her characters and warps others, but leaves none untouched....Roy takes up classic material, but she delights in verbal innovation and stylistic tricks. She runs words together...and plucks nouns from verbs and verbs from thin air....Roy's verbal exuberance is all her own, and it makes "The God of Small Things" a real pleasure. History's lessons may be bitter, but Roy serves them up fresh, pungent and delicious."
Howard
