One of my all time favourites.
After visiting India, I developed a life long love affair with its food, people and culture. Reading this novel was like going deep sea diving for the first time, except this novel isn't about fish! Roy takes you diving under the surface of India, right beneath the chaos and the madness, she shows you a world that is inaccessible to the occasional tourist like myself.
Her prose is arresting, her metaphors stop your heart and make you sit back in your chair to admire their beauty. What Roy does with 'love' in this novel is truly beautiful and I don't think it would be the same were it set anywhere else but India.
