Mother Mary Comes To Me

Mother Mary Comes To Me is Arundhati Roy's first memoir, presenting a deeply personal and inspiring account of how she became the person and writer she is today. The memoir is shaped profoundly by her complex relationship with her extraordinary mother, whom she refers to as 'my shelter and my storm.' Born out of the flood of memories and emotions following her mother's death, the book chronicles Roy's life from childhood in Kerala to her present life in Delhi. Combining the narrative sweep and depth of her acclaimed novels, The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, along with the passion, political insight, and warmth of her essays, this memoir stands as both an ode to freedom and a tribute to complicated love and grace. It offers readers an astonishing, sometimes disturbing, yet surprisingly humorous exploration of her life's journey and identity.
