Ronny Howard’s Reviews > The God of Small Things > Status Update

I am confused. I know I'm being made to be confused on purpose though, and I'm itching to know more. I love the way Roy writes - text is thick with metaphor and contrasts and comparison. She really makes you work for it. What I know so far: Baby Kochamma is somehow a villain, old roses are important, and the book compares "small things" (on a familial level) with "big things" (politics, history and social upheaval).
