Two beautiful, pure twin children and their wonderful mother return to live in her ancestral home, in Ayyemenem, India, after their eccentric father has abandoned them. Within this framework, a fascinating story unfolds where the various heroes play their role between the past and the present. Amidst passions and sensuality, the text creates its own vocabulary of images. A forbidden love, a longing for distant horizons, a river that speaks a dreamy language, and a god who always defines. Arundhati Roy weaves the web of the narrative with skill and beauty and the unfolding of the story has the power to disturb, captivate, and enchant the reader. Without ever having lived far from her homeland, without forgetting for a moment the linguistic tradition, she managed to write in English with mastery a novel that takes your breath away.
