MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME: Arundhati Roy

MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME

by Arundhati Roy

Fierce and poetic, this memoir by the Booker Prize-winning author of ​The God of Small Things is a true reading pleasure. Roy's novelistic account of growing up in a small town in Kerala, escaping to Delhi as a young women and trailblazing a path for herself as a writer and activist is lyrical and peopled with vibrant characters. At its heart is her formidable mother Mary, an extraordinary but difficult women whose influence on Roy was profound. A wonderful read full of love, anguish, humour and the messy stuff of life. ​
