The book was internationally felicitated by theBooker Award. The voice and echoes, the tears and the smiles, the calls and the answers coming out of the core of the earth are the soul of this novel,God Of Small Things. It is garnished with the inevitable fear which a human mind experiences along with the inevitable destiny. This story is full of love, hatred, ego, jealousy, treachery, feeling of guilt and various such aspects of life which are inevitable in a human life. The author has woven all these together excellently well. She has captured us all in it making it impossible to come out of it, to free ourselves. The pickle smells of the salted raw mangoes, the jelly smells of the ripe bananas. We also come across the children singing songs while travelling to their native places or actually towards the unavoidable sadness. The story is a weird yet fascinating combination of lamentation, mystery and melancholy. Since the very beginning we get hypnotized, mesmerized. We realize that we are witnessing something totally fresh and new having the power to capture our minds. This is the only story of its type. None other will be ever as good as this. पृथ्वीच्या गर्भातून उमटणारे साद-प्रतिसाद, ध्वनी-प्रतिध्वनी, अश्रू आणि हुंदके हे’द गॉड ऑफ स्मॉल थिंग्ज’चे प्राणतत्त्व! मानवी अस्तित्वाला घेरून असणारी आदिम भीती आणि नियतीच्या पाशामधली अपरिहार्यता यांचे वेढे उलगडून पाहणार्‍या या अद्वितीय लेखनाला अदृश्य मानसिक ताणाचे अस्तर आहे. अपरिमित प्रेम, द्वेष, मत्सर, विश्‍वासघात, तीव्र तिरस्कार, अपराधीपणाचा डंख अशा अनेक भावभावनांचे पदर कोळ्यांच्या जाळ्यासारखे धावत राहतात... विणले जातात... त्या जाळ्यांच्या वेढ्यांमधून सुटता येत नाही. स्वत: ला अलग करता येत नाही. लोणच्यामध्ये खारवलेल्या आंब्यांचा, जॅममधल्या पिकल्या केळ्यांचा वास येत राहातो. मामाच्या गाडीत बसून एका अपरिहार्य शोकांतिकेकडे प्रवास करणार्‍या मुलांची गाणी ऐकू येतात. कथानकाच्या शब्दाशब्दातून ठिबकणारा शोक, गूढ रहस्य आणि काळीज हलवून टाकणारी खिन्नता हे सारेच एक अजब चेटूक आहे. जाणिवांना संमोहन घालणारा प्रारंभ वाचतानाच लक्षात येते, की नवीन काहीतरी सांगणार्‍या एका ताज्यातवान्या प्रतिभेने आपल्या मनाची पकड घेतली आहे.. श्‍वास रोखून धरायला लावणारा नवा स्वर! यानंतर अशी कथा जणू पुन्हा सांगितलीच जाणार नाही. हीच पहिली... आणि एकमेव!(आंतरराष्ट्रीय प्रतिष्ठेच्या’बुकर पुरस्कार’विजेत्या’द गॉड ऑफ स्मॉल थिंग्ज’ला मिळालेल्या जागतिक अभिप्रायांमधून)
