A beautiful, lyrical language created for just this book. Roy has
this avid reader reaching for pen & paper to scribble down
profound simplicities that could only come from a child of Ammu's.
Experiences first had through young eyes of twins Rahel & Estha
are relived and woven through forboding hints of some ominous
conclusion. You will reread certain passages again and again. First
for content, then for impression and again for the art that can be
evoked with words. I have not finished it yet (3/4 through) but
know already I will do so again. A singular style not often
encountered in literature of any era. Brilliant. You will marvel at
the weight of such simple words strung together like a millstone
necklace around hearts of fallen angels. Startlingly written.
