Mother Mary Comes to Me
Instant National Bestseller | Finalist for the Kirkus Prize
A raw and deeply moving memoir from the legendary author of The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness that traces the complex relationship with her mother, Mary Roy, a fierce and formidable force who shaped Arundhatiās life both as a woman and a writer.
Mother Mary Comes to Me, Arundhati Royās first work of memoir, is a soaring account, both intimate and inspirational, of how the author became the person and the writer she is, shaped by circumstance, but above all by her complex relationship to the extraordinary, singular mother she describes as āmy shelter and my storm.ā
āHeart-smashedā by her mother Maryās death in September 2022 yet puzzled and āmore than a little ashamedā by the intensity of her response, Roy began to write, to make sense of her feelings about the mother she ran from at age eighteen, ānot because I didnāt love her, but in order to be able to continue to love her.ā And so begins this astonishing, sometimes disturbing, and surprisingly funny memoir of the authorās journey from her childhood in Kerala, India, where her single mother founded a school, to the writing of her prizewinning novels and essays, through today.
With the scale, sweep, and depth of her novels, The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, 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 graceāa memoir like no other.
