Explanation and Analysis:

The style of The God of Small Things is very fluid, in part because it makes liberal use of flashbacks. The story shifts between December 1969, when Rahel and Estha are children living in Ayemenem, and June 1993, when the twins return to Ayemenem as adults, having not seen each other in 24 years.
