The ill-fated visit ends in the demise of Sophie for which Estha and Rahel have to pay a heavy price. The story goes further when Chacko’s ex-wife Margaret brings their daughter Sophie to Ayemenem on a visit from London. Ammu works in the family’s pickle factory in spite of which she and her kids are denied any rights, let alone love, by her Oxford returned brother Chacko who considers them nothing less than dogs to be fed.
