Mother Mary Comes to Me

I think it was a good experience reading Arundhati Roy's memoir written about her mother Mary Roy, leading educationist and the woman who fought for ancestral property rights in Kerala. She has juxtaposed the contradictions involved in the relationship with her mother- the devotion and the politics, of her mother being both her shelter and storm. What I loved the most was the chapter involving the writing of The God of Small Things and also some reminiscences from her writerly life.
