A Malayalam translation of "God of Small things". A simple story set against the backdrop of social discrimination, communism, the caste system, and the Keralite Syrian Christian way of life. It is a story about the childhood experiences of fraternal twins whose lives are destroyed by the "Love Laws" that lay down "who should be loved, and how. And how much." The book is a description of how the small things in life affect people's behaviour and their lives.
