The God of Small Things

I listened to this on audiobook and it was hard to follow because the book goes back and forth in time. If I were reading it I could flip back and remind myself where I was in time, but I wasn't able to do that listening to an audiobook. So, though it was beautifully written and the characters were well-done, it was too much of a chore because of the time changes that weren't immediately evident. It was also really sad.
