Gaza, truly showed that "never again" is nothing than just an empty word to hide the Inhumanity of the people pretending to have empathy.

Uit de tombola van de leesclub kwam de winner van de Booker-prize van 1997: De God van Kleine Dingen van Arundhati Roy. Een moderne klassieker, postkoloniale literatuur in een Indiase setting eind jaren '60. In De God van Kleine Dingen maken we kennis met een tweeling, Estha en Rahel. Vanuit hun perspectief als zevenjarigen bekjken we de wereld, en vooral hun familie. Meerdere generaties bevolken het boek: hun ouders, hun grootouders en overgrootouders.
