The God of Small Things

3.5 stars. The achingly delicious language is what kept me going - I was frustrated throughout most of it. So much cliffhanger-style teasing of “The Terror” without relief until the very end. The ending was magnificent, mind you. Of all the different chronological perspectives to choose from, I admired the point in time where the book ended: the one point where there was any pleasure at all, doomed or not.
