The God of Small Things

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy is several stories within a story. The story takes place in India. Its a story about love between a touchable and an untouchable. Its a story about a nun who fell in love with a priest. Its a story about two twins made to be a part most of their live and what happens in their childhood together, and its a story about a father whos English ex wife and child come to visit him and his child soon dies by accident.
I give this book a 4 out of 5. Its beautifully written where things are detailed with such paticular, unusual, and beautiful descriptions. Although, with that said, one small event takes forever to happen in this book...thus the books main story, which stretches out throughout the book, only really takes place in a matter of a week or so. Its a bit of a slow read, but a beautifully sad story.
