The incredible first memorial from the iconic activist and Booker Prize-winning author, Arundhati Roy, author of "The God of Small Things".

Arundhati Roy, with her debut memoir, offers a striking account that is both intimate and inspiring of how she became the person and author she is today, shaped by circumstances and, above all, by her relationship with her unique mother, Maria, whom she describes as "refuge and storm".

Disappointed and “a little embarrassed” by her intense reaction to her mother's death, who had grown distant from her at the age of eighteen, Arundhati began writing "Mother Mary Comes to Me". The result is this remarkable, unsettling, and strangely funny chronicle—unique and at the same time universal, about the author's life, from childhood to the present, from Kerala to Delhi.

With the scale, range, and depth of her novels and the passion, political clarity, and warmth of her essays, "Mother Mary Comes to Me" is a celebration of freedom, a tribute to difficult love and fierce grace—a memorial like no other.
