Arundhati Roy is a great writer. She gives some characters very minimal detail so that the reader can have their own imagination and that particular character. She also has symbols for different characters, she spells certain words based on the way they sound, and she gives the book a twist by putting flash backs and flash forwards. This is a book that you have to digest. You have to take this book slow and steady so you can have a better understanding.

I agree; Arundhati Roy does an amazing job developing her characters. And not just one or two main characters, as many authors do, but all the characters. So that the reader can track each character's progress throughout the book.
I definitely agree with you and because of this it has allowed me to use my own imagination to figure out what they might look like.
This was a really great insight!
