Arundhati Roy's Novels

Hello Readers!

I am discuss about famous well known Author Arundhati Roy. This task given by Dr. Dilip Barad sir so click here and visit a blog.

★About Arundhati Roy:

Who was best known for the award winning novel The God of small things (1997) and for her involvement in environmental and human rights causes. Her second famous work like,"The Ministry of utmost Happiness". She was got a two awards and Honours first is Sydney Peace Prize (2004) second is Booker Prize (1997).

She was born on 24 November 1961 Shilling Meghalaya, India. Her father was a Bengali tea planter and her mother was a Christian of Syrian descent who challenged India's inheritance laws by successfully suing for the right of Christian women receive father's estates.

★The God Of Small Things:

The God of Small Things was written by Indian writer Arundhati Roy in 1997. The novel is about two fraternal twins who reunite as young adults, after family tensions have kept them apart for many years. The novel won the Booker Prize in 1997.

Rahel and Estha are fraternal twins. Rahel is a smart but impulsive young woman. Estha is a very serious and nervous young man. Their mother, Ammu, takes them to Ayemenem to live with her family. Ammu and the twins live with her brother Chacko, his ex-wife Margaret, and their daughter, Sophie, as well as Baby Kochamma, the twins' maternal great aunt.

★The Ministry of utmost Happiness:

The Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes us on an intimate journey of many years across the Indian subcontinent - from the cramped neighborhoods of Old Delhi and the roads of the new city to the mountains and valleys of Kashmir and beyond, where war is peace and peace is war.

It is an aching love story and a decisive remonstration, a story told in a whisper, in a shout, through unsentimental tears and sometimes with a bitter laugh. Each of its characters is indelibly, tenderly rendered. Its heroes are people who have been broken by the world they live in and then rescued, patched together by acts of love - and by hope.

The tale begins with Anjum - who used to be Aftab - unrolling a threadbare Persian carpet in a city graveyard she calls home. We encounter the odd, unforgettable Tilo and the men who loved her - including Musa, sweetheart and ex-sweetheart, lover and ex-lover; their fates are as entwined as their arms used to be and always will be. We meet Tilo's landlord, a former suitor, now an intelligence officer posted to Kabul. And then we meet the two Miss Jebeens: the first a child born in Srinagar and buried in its overcrowded Martyrs' Graveyard; the second found at midnight, abandoned on a concrete sidewalk in the heart of New Delhi.

As this ravishing, deeply humane novel braids these lives together, it reinvents what a novel can do and can be. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness demonstrates on every page the miracle of Arundhati Roy's storytelling gifts.
