The book's beauty lies in its way of narration, a non-sequential way of narration with the words chosen enticingly. This book is narrated brilliantly from the third person point of view and also from Rahel's point of view. This book shows that how small things in life can affect a person's life but there is always a ray of hope sent by the almighty himself. The twins realised that no one understood them better than themselves. Rahel, who was 31-year old when he returned back, met Estha again for the first time since childhood. Rahel returns from the US, where he had left after an abusive childhood, got married and divorced, finally returns back to Ayemenem. On account of poverty Ammu was forced to send Estha to live with his father. The twins reveal the truth of Sophie's death to the police chief the police chief knew that since Velutha was a communist his wrongful arrest and beating would antagonise the local communists.īaby Kochamma fearing arrest convinces Chacko into believing that the twins are responsible for his daughter's (Sophie Mol) death.

This had a deep effect on the twins who became silent after this savage act. The police who beat ruthlessly beat Velutha for crossing caste line. Baby Kochamma blamed Velutha for Sophie Mol's death and complained to the police. Navomi Ipe Kochamma nicknamed 'Baby Kochamma' was Pappachi's sister. Pappachi is Rahel and Estha's grandfather. When they were rowing across the river, an accident takes Sophie Mol's life. Rahel and Velutha tried to flee together by rowing across the river to an abandoned house and were helped by Sophie Mol. When Ammu Ipe came to knew about Rahel and Velutha's (who worked at their house and belonged to the untouchable class) relationship, she sacked Velutha from work and she locked herself in her room.

Sophie Mol is Chacko and Margaret's daughter.
