Critical Praise

"The quality of Ms. Roy’s narration is so extraordinary–at once so morally strenuous and so imaginatively supple–that the reader remains enthralled all the way through."

The New York Times

"Outstanding. A glowing first novel."

Newsweek

"Dazzling . . . as subtle as it is powerful."

——Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"[The God of Small Things] offers such magic, mystery, and sadness that, literally, this reader turned the last page and decided to reread it. Immediately. It’s that hauntingly wonderful."
