Who was he?
Who could he have been?
...
If he touched her, he couldn't talk to her, if he loved her he couldn't leave, if he spoke he couldn't listen, if he fought he couldn't win.
...
He folded his fear into a perfect rose. He held it out in the palm of his hand. She took it from him and put it in her hair.--from The God of Small Things, a novel by Arundhati Roy
a story so sad and gloomy speaks of bittersweet ironies and inescapable social realities, and beautifully comes alive with a language so poetic and so moving. such is the story of the god of small things. to hear of it and not read it is to be robbed of a reading experience like no other.
na intriga na ko tuloy sa book na to. :p
