The God of Small Things

This is not a book I would have willingly chosen to read, its not really a genre I tend to gravitate towards. But saying that, I enjoyed this book more than I was expecting to. Yes, parts were difficult to read, without getting into too much detail there are some taboo things in this book. But at the heart of it it is a story of love and loss, of grieving for the life you though you were going to have but didn't, how the bitterness that some people hold onto when their lives don't turn out the way they wanted can poison future generations.

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes, but with warnings about the taboo sections.
