About this ebook

Still, to say that it all began when Sophie Mol came to Ayemenem is only one way of looking at it . . . It could be argued that it actually began thousands of years ago. Long before the Marxists came. Before the British took Malabar, before the Dutch Ascendancy, before Vasco da Gama arrived, before the Zamorin’s conquest of Calicut. Before Christianity arrived in a boat and seeped into Kerala like tea from a teabag. That it really began in the days when the Love Laws were made. The laws that lay down who should be loved, and how. And how much.

some books gives us tremendous happiness , some tremendous sorrow , some eternal excitement While this masterpiece gives my heart an eternal stillness , eternal calmness. was that a happy ending - don't know was that sad ending - don't know was that twisty ending - don't know This is the beauty of THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS. This story left you wherever you were before you read it , still it gives us eternal happiness , eternal calmness , INFINNATE JOY.

This story is all inside out, end to start! And thats what makes it special. A known yet unknown twist all over, a melancholy in its own! ❤
