Mother Mary Comes To Me – Arundhati Roy’s First Memoir
Mother Mary Comes To Me, Arundhati Roy’s first memoir, is an intricate and elevating study of the author’s intimate life. This unfolding reveals a life that is a result of circumstances and an unusual relationship to an exceptional mother, whom she describes as ‘my shelter and my storm’.
This book is born of memory’s vigorous invitation upon the death of her mother, Mary Roy, and it temporally charts Arundhati Roy’s life from childhood to the present, geographically spanning Kerala to Delhi. With the depth, volume, and scope of her novels, The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, and the focus, political insight, and affection of her prose, this book is a celebration of freedom, a dedication to difficult love, and a memoir unlike any other. Mother Mary Comes To Me is a gripping memoir that traces her complex relationship with her mother, Mary Roy.
