MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME ARUNDHATI ROY

**Book description**

The incredible first memoir from the Booker‑winning radical icon Arundhati Roy, author of *The God of Small Things*, Arundhati Roy’s first work of memoir is a soaring account, both intimate and inspiring, of how she became the person and writer she is—shaped by circumstance, but above all by her relationship to her extraordinary, singular mother Mary, whom she describes as “my shelter and my storm.” Distraught and even a little ashamed at the intensity of her response to the death of the mother she ran from at age eighteen, Arundhati began to write *Mother Mary Comes to Me*. The result is an astonishing, disconcerting, surprisingly funny chronicle—unique and simultaneously universal—of the author’s life, from childhood to the present, from Kerala to Delhi. With the scale, sweep, and depth of her novels and the passion, political clarity, and warmth of her essays, *Mother Mary Comes to Me* is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace, a memoir like no other.
