The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
DID NOT FINISH: 27%

Sadly I DNFd this one at the 25% mark because it is way too complex for my tired brain. There is no doubt it is a great book, though, but it’s just not for me. It is written in a stream-of-consciousness style jumping from one family member to another, from one time to another, and I simply couldn’t follow. Also I felt really hindered by my aphantasia because there were plenty of (short) descriptions but my mind refused to paint a mental picture of what was written.
