Arundhati Roy
R430.00
Roy’s raw and powerful memoir details her childhood in Kerala, her studies in Architecture, her career as a novelist, and her political activism. It centres her complicated relationship with her mother, Mary, a complex and contradictory woman. Roy writes with an honesty that is unsparing and with a reverence for her mother despite their volatile relationship.
Mother Mary Comes to Me
Arundhati Roy’s first work of memoir, this is a soaring account, both intimate and inspiring, of how the author became the person and the writer she is, shaped by circumstance, but above all by her relationship to her extraordinary, singular mother Mary, who 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 this astonishing, disconcerting, surprisingly funny chronicle―unique and simultaneously universal, of the author’s life, from childhood to the present, from Kerala to Delhi.
