What happened to Sophie Mol was terribly tragic. Of all ways to die she had to drown. And it was because a log floated down the river and hit the boat. I think she was about to make friends with the twins too. She was really starting to come around. Dissapointing.
Another flash around to when Estha leaves on a train. ugh quit flashing back already!
I feel bad for the whole family at this point. FIrst they find out about Ammus affrair, Sophie Mol is going to drown, and the factory is going to be overthrown by the Communists because they continued to employ Velutha. How many unfortunate things can happen to one family? It is wierd how at the beginning of the book Rahel thought one moth was going to curse the family, and so far it really has.
I am also wondering about the former relationship between Father Mulligan and Baby Kochamma. was there something there? i have no idea. but fathers and nuns and stuff arent supposed to do things like that... so odd. Its so sad that she still writes "i love you" in her journal. Im assuming its about father mulligan.
I really hate how the oragngedrink lemondrink think never leaves estha. poor estha.
these three chapters were really short and not too eventful.

You already commented on Sophie's death and the possible loss of the cousin's friendship.
As you point out, it is a series of bad things that snow-ball over this family. It just gets worse and worse. Maybe Rahel's curse is a form of foreshadowing that the author makes use of?
There was in fact a 'fling' between Baby Kochamma and Father Mulligan, so I think you may have missed that in your readings, per your posts which seem stacked into one evening?
These chapters may be short, but they still yield info that is relevant to the plot, per Kochamma's x-romance.
