Recensioner i media

‘Richly deserving the rapturous praise it has received on both sides of the Atlantic…The God of Small Things achieves a genuine tragic resonance. It is, indeed, a masterpiece’ Observer‘Roy is truly gifted, not just in her ability to make words playful and meaning mischievous, but to use this to create a language texture that bowls you along, gathering momentum like the narrative itself…Witty and vivid, full of rich, memorable images…a verbal stream of steady beauty’ Ali Smith‘It is rare to find a book that so effectively cuts through the clothes of nationality, caste and religion to reveal the bare bones of humanity. A sensational novel’ Daily Telegraph‘A quite astonishing novel by any standards – broad in its historical sweep, emotionally profound and marvellously acute and delicate’ Economist‘Quite brilliant…One can only strongly recommend this extremely funny and enchanting and pretty much genius piece of debut fiction’ Spectator
