In Ayemenem, in Kerala, fraternal twins Estha and Rahel live through one catastrophic week in 1969, when their mother Ammu’s love for Velutha, a Dalit carpenter, breaks the “Love Laws” that decide who may be loved and how much. Told out of order, in playful, invented language that slowly reveals a tragedy. After it Roy spent twenty years mostly writing political essays before her second novel, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness.
