The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy is a good novel, but I do not find it completely satisfying. The caste system in India is something that I have never really been able to understand. I could relate in part to some of the characters, but they did not seem to be fully developed. Some ideas could have been developed more, and some ideas were repeated too often. I do not understand why this novel received as much attention as it did. At times it seems like the author was trying to be provocative. She made points that were more effectively made by other writers.
