Status Updates From The God of Small Things

The pacing and time-jumping of this book is SO difficult. Still, I find the mental gymnastics really exciting and I'm so eager to find out what happened in the History House. The way it is dealing with generational trauma and the effects of the colonialism is just blowing my mind. Luckily, I've found a website which analyses this book section by section which means I'm not missing anything despite reading casually.

Zoning in and out of the book a little. There are lots of jumps about in time that aren’t always clear, they kind of blend into one another which I think is an artistic choice, but it makes it harder to focus on what’s actually happening. I am enjoying the writing though. The imagery is really strong and the characters are very engaging.
