男人布克獎得主 • 《紐約時報》暢銷書 • 1969 年的一個決定性的一天永遠改變了一個富裕的印度家庭，作者為《極致幸福》
「[微物之神]提供瞭如此神奇、神秘和悲傷，從字面上看，這位讀者翻過最後一頁並決定重讀它。 立即地。 真是令人難以忘懷。」——《今日美國》
與福克納和狄更斯的作品相比，阿蘭達蒂·羅伊的現代經典作品既有強大的家庭傳奇、禁忌的愛情故事，也有尖銳的政治戲劇。 七歲的雙胞胎埃斯塔和拉赫爾看到他們的世界因他們美麗的年輕表弟索菲的到來而發生不可挽回的震動。 這一事件將導致非法聯絡和意外或故意的悲劇，暴露出一個正在危險地走向動亂的國家「潛伏著未言明的大事」。
鬱鬱蔥蔥、抒情而又令人不安的《小物之神》是一部屢獲殊榮的里程碑式作品，它為作者開啟了受人尊敬的小說和政治評論生涯，並一直持續至今。

“[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 haunting.”—USA Today
Compared favorably to the works of Faulkner and Dickens, Arundhati Roy’s modern classic is equal parts powerful family saga, forbidden love story, and piercing political drama. The seven-year-old twins Estha and Rahel see their world shaken irrevocably by the arrival of their beautiful young cousin, Sophie. It is an event that will lead to an illicit liaison and tragedies accidental and intentional, exposing “big things [that] lurk unsaid” in a country drifting dangerously toward unrest.
Lush, lyrical, and unnerving, The God of Small Things is an award-winning landmark that started for its author an esteemed career of fiction and political commentary that continues unabated.
