Description: Written by Arundhati Roy and published in 1997, this prize winning novel is set in Roy’s hometown of Aymanam, where Paradise Pickles still stands. The story covers the lives of a pair of twins who experience loss at an early age, and find redemption as adults. The story is not told in sequence; one scene may be from their childhood, the next as adults. Roy does an excellent job storytelling, though, as the reader never feels lost or bewildered with the tale. Roy’s prose is fun to read; she deals with the darkest of content, mixed with light humor.
