"The God of Small Things" is a very sensitive well written novel, an incredibly ambitious first work of a then new author of Indian heritage. It's a tale we can relate to as exers. It deals with a type of tragedy we are familiar with, uses a vocabulary of borrowed words that expatriates or former expats like us will probably appreciate.
We exers used to reading the KJV bible will appreciate "The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran. It's probably some of the most beautiful English I've read, and full of deep words of wisdom.
