ARUNDHATI ROY – Ministry of Utmost Happiness: A Novel

The long awaited follow-up to The God of Small Things is here. Join ARUNDHATI ROY at Old South Church for a reading from her first novel in twenty years. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes its readers on an intimate journey of many years across the Indian subcontinent—from the cramped neighborhoods of Old Delhi to the mountains and valleys of Kashmir and beyond, where war is peace and peace is war. It is an aching love story and a character driven remonstration, a story told in a whisper, in a shout, through unsentimental tears, and sometimes with a bitter laugh.
