In the "God of Small Things" you can see that Arundhati Roy has chosen all her words very carefully when describing a sense. Her use of synaesthesia is beautiful and captivating, it pulls the reader in to feel what the character is feeling.
One question that I do have is why Arundhati capitalizes certain lines, for example, pg. 44 "So on the days that the radio played Ammu's songs, people avoided her, made little loops around her, because everybody agreed that it was best to just Let Her Be".
