This is the story of boy-girl twins growing up in India. Blessed by a family of moderate wealth, but cursed by a missing father and relatives who take them in as a duty, but share no love with them. Full of colorful descriptions of their life as seen by the children, their mother and others. Contains an illicit love affair and a sad end of all things, blessed only by the God of Small Things. Winner of the Booker Prize.
