A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2025 "The prizewinning novelist's unsparing memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me, captures the eventful life and times of her mother, a driven educator and imperfect inspiration." --The New York Times Book Review "An electrifying look at the author's career and activism." --People Magazine "This book pulses with compassion and moral outrage...Ms. Roy acknowledges that her difficult mother shaped the free-spirited, headstrong, risk-taking writer she became...It's clear from this memoir that while Ms. Roy has lost her chief adversary, she hasn't lost her fire." --The Wall Street Journal "Writers have the ability to tell stories that create the world we want to live in...With every book, every essay, every speech, Roy builds worlds that are revolutionary, made from the darkness that she spins into purpose." --The New Republic "Booker Prize-winning Indian novelist Arundhati Roy recounts a life of poverty and upheaval, defiance and triumph in an emotionally raw memoir, centered on her complicated relationship with her mother...Her candid memoir revives both an extraordinary woman and the tangled complexities of filial love. An intimate, stirring chronicle." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review), A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2025 "[Roy] channels warmth, moral clarity and a sweeping bird's-eye view of modern India to tell her life story, which was shaped by poverty, violence, political upheaval and--most of all--the volatile single mother who raised her." --The New York Times "Tender...full of precise imagery and blistering emotional intelligence." --The Washington Post "An electrifying look at the author's career and activism." --People Magazine "This book pulses with compassion and moral outrage...Ms. Roy acknowledges that her difficult mother shaped the free-spirited, headstrong, risk-taking writer she became...It's clear from this memoir that while Ms. Roy has lost her chief adversary, she hasn't lost her fire." --The Wall Street Journal "Writers have the ability to tell stories that create the world we want to live in...With every book, every essay, every speech, Roy builds worlds that are revolutionary, made from the darkness that she spins into purpose." --The New Republic "The first memoir from Roy details her come-up as a writer, but it's as much a biography of her complicated, compelling single mother, Mary...fascinating." --New York Magazine "The book has the lyricism of Gabriel García Márquez, the political sweep of Barbara Kingsolver, and the antic family humor of David Sedaris." --Financial Times "The prizewinning novelist's unsparing memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me , captures the eventful life and times of her mother, a driven educator and imperfect inspiration." --The New York Times Book Review "Cinematic...dense with the lyrical language, deep empathy and fierce social critique that have made Roy's novels international bestsellers...a masterpiece of memoir writing, a rich tapestry of memory, reckoning and longing." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "In electrifying, intimate prose, Roy's first memoir traces her complex relationship with her mother, Mary and how it shaped the person--and writer--she ultimately became." --The Millions "Roy turns inward to reflect on a complicated relationship with her late mother, herself an activist, whose barbed love of Roy and her brother could by turns sustain and devastate." --NPR.org "The first memoir from legendary novelist Arundhati Roy tackles her complicated, fascinating relationship with her mother and how it shaped almost every part of her life." --Town & Country "Booker Prize-winning Indian novelist Arundhati Roy recounts a life of poverty and upheaval, defiance and triumph in an emotionally raw memoir, centered on her complicated relationship with her mother...Her candid memoir revives both an extraordinary woman and the tangled complexities of filial love. An intimate, stirring chronicle." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review), A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2025 "The prizewinning novelist's unsparing memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me , captures the eventful life and times of her mother, a driven educator and imperfect inspiration." --The New York Times Book Review "An electrifying look at the author's career and activism." --People Magazine "This book pulses with compassion and moral outrage...Ms. Roy acknowledges that her difficult mother shaped the free-spirited, headstrong, risk-taking writer she became...It's clear from this memoir that while Ms. Roy has lost her chief adversary, she hasn't lost her fire." --The Wall Street Journal "Writers have the ability to tell stories that create the world we want to live in...With every book, every essay, every speech, Roy builds worlds that are revolutionary, made from the darkness that she spins into purpose." --The New Republic "Booker Prize-winning Indian novelist Arundhati Roy recounts a life of poverty and upheaval, defiance and triumph in an emotionally raw memoir, centered on her complicated relationship with her mother...Her candid memoir revives both an extraordinary woman and the tangled complexities of filial love. An intimate, stirring chronicle." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review), Praise for Arundhati Roy "The world has never had to face such global confusion. Only in facing it can we make sense of what we have to do. And this is precisely what Arundhati Roy does. She makes sense of what we have to do. Thereby offering an example. An example of what? Of being fully alive in our world, such as it is, and of getting close to and listening to those for whom this world has become intolerable." --John Berger "Arundhati Roy is one of the most confident and original thinkers of our time." --Naomi Klein "Arundhati Roy calls for 'factual precision' alongside of the 'real precision of poetry.' Remarkably, she combines those achievements to a degree that few can hope to approach." --Noam Chomsky "Arundhati Roy combines her brilliant style as a novelist with her powerful commitment to social justice in producing these eloquent, penetrating essays." --Howard Zinn "Arundhati Roy is one of the few great revolutionary intellectuals in our time ... courageous, visionary, and erudite." --Cornel West "Her incomparable divining rod picks up the cries of the despised and the oppressed in the most remote corners of the globe; it even picks up the cries of rivers and fish. With an unfailing charm and wit that makes her writing constantly enlivening to read, her analysis of our grotesque world is savagely clear, and yet her anger never obscures her awareness that beauty, joy, and pleasure can potentially be part of the life of human beings." --Wallace Shawn "[Roy is] an electrifying political essayist. . . . So fluent is her prose, so keen her understanding of global politics, and so resonant her objections to nuclear weapons ... that her essays are as uplifting as they are galvanizing." --Booklist "The scale of what Roy surveys is staggering. Her pointed indictment is devastating." --New York Times Book Review, A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2025 "Booker Prize-winning Indian novelist Arundhati Roy recounts a life of poverty and upheaval, defiance and triumph in an emotionally raw memoir, centered on her complicated relationship with her mother...Her candid memoir revives both an extraordinary woman and the tangled complexities of filial love. An intimate, stirring chronicle." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Synopsis
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 Arundhati's life both as a woman and a writer. Mother Mary Comes to Me , Arundhati Roy's 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 "my shelter and my storm." "Heart-smashed" by her mother Mary's death in September 2022 yet puzzled and "more than a little ashamed" 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, "not because I didn't love her, but in order to be able to continue to love her." And so begins this astonishing, sometimes disturbing, and surprisingly funny memoir of the author's 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 grace--a memoir like no other., 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 Arundhati's life both as a woman and a writer.
