Mother Mary Comes to Me

In the first work of memoir from Arundhati Roy, the Booker-Prize winning author of The God of Small Things, comes a raw and deeply moving account of the complex relationship with her mother, Mary Roy. A fierce and formidable force who shaped Arundhati’s life both as a woman and a writer, Arundhati was “heart-smashed” by Mary’s death in September 2022 and began to write to make sense of her feelings.
