«El dios de las pequeñas cosas» is the magic realism novel by Arundhati Roy, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (384 pages, in Spanish).
The novel tells the story of three generations of a family from Kerala, in southern India, who scatter across the world and return to their homeland. At the center are the twins Estha and Rahel, marked in childhood by the accidental death of the English girl Sophie Mol, and Ammu, their mother, caught up in forbidden loves that break taboos. Between memory and present, the story weaves together tragedy, the struggle for justice and the loss of innocence.
The work belongs to the collection «Panorama de narrativas» (volume 392) and was originally published in 1998. Arundhati Roy won the 1997 Booker Prize with this novel.
Suitable for readers of contemporary literary fiction and those seeking a great family saga with a social and political backdrop in India.
