is the god of small things concerns the life of farmers

The God of Small Things has implications of farming practices in it, modernization and its effect on rural farmers, but I wouldn't say it's merely about farmers. For the most part takes place in a town called Ayemenem, in Kerala, India. There is allot of shifting back and forth between 1969 and 1993. The shifts in setting help develop the major theme of family and extended family within a geographic space.
