READ: Mother Mary Comes To Me
Arundhati Roy’s deeply personal and revealing first memoir, Mother Mary Comes To Me, offers a candid look into her relationship with her mother, Mary Roy, a fiercely independent educator and women’s rights pioneer. Set against the backdrop of post-independence India, the memoir chronicles Arundhati’s childhood from Assam to Ooty, and eventually Kerala, where her mother bravely escaped an abusive marriage during the India-China war of 1962 to forge a new life as a teacher and activist.
Arundhati explores themes of family, identity, and resilience. She portrays her mother as both a protector and a disruptor, a woman who challenged societal norms, fought legal battles over inheritance rights for women, and profoundly shaped Arundhati’s own worldview.
