Book Club--"The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy

The tale of twins Rahel and Esthappen begins in the year 1969, in the Indian the state of Kerala. Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, they fashion a childhood for themselves in the wreck that is their family—their lonely, lovely mother, Ammu, their blind grandmother, Mammachi, their beloved uncle Chacko, their enemy, Baby Kochamma, and the ghost of an imperial entomologist's moth. When their English cousin and her mother arrive on a Christmas visit, Esthappen and Rahel learn that Things Can Change in a Day, twisting lives into strange new shapes.
