À propos de cet audio
Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Kirkus Prize
One of the best-reviewed books of the year, a raw and deeply moving memoir that “pulses with compassion and moral outrage” (The Wall Street Journal) from the legendary author of The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness that traces her complex relationship with her mother, Mary Roy, a fierce and formidable force who shaped Arundhati’s life both as a woman and a writer.
In this, her first work of memoir, Arundhati Roy writes, “Perhaps even more than a daughter mourning the passing of her mother, I mourn her as a writer who has lost her most enthralling subject.”
Mother Mary Comes to Me, is an intimate chronicle, “full of precise imagery and blistering emotional intelligence” (The Washington Post), of the relationship between two women, a school teacher and a writer, who happen to be mother and daughter. Roy writes with a novelist’s unsettling ability to be inside her own story as well as outside it, simultaneously child and adult, attached and detached, protagonist and narrator. She describes how she came to be 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.”
“Heart-smashed” by Mary’s death, 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.”
With the scale, sweep, and depth of her novels and the passion, political clarity, and warmth of her essays, Mother Mary Comes to Me “builds worlds that are revolutionary, made from the darkness that she spins into purpose” (The New Republic). An ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace—Mother Mary Comes to Me is a memoir like no other.
Editorial Review
A mesmerising memoir and meditation
As the first memoir from Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy, what more do you want? Well-known and celebrated for her prose, narrative structures and activism, I have no doubt that
Mother Mary Comes to Me will be just as moving and inspiring as her novels and other works of nonfiction. I’m so excited to hear firsthand how Roy became the woman—and the writer—that she is today, alongside meditations of motherhood, family and love. Born out of the complex memories and emotions surrounding her mother’s death and performed by the author herself, this listen is sure to be one of the most emotional and impactful memoirs of the season. —Michael C., Audible Editor
