Born out of the onrush of memories and feelings provoked by her mother Mary’s death, this is the astonishing, often disturbing and surprisingly funny memoir of the Arundhati Roy’s life, from childhood to the present, from Kerala to Delhi.

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, this book is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace – a memoir like no other.  aRoy, Arundhati  aAuthors, Indic--20th century--Biography  aAuthors, Indic--21st century--Biography  aPolitical activists--India--21st century--Biography  aMothers and daughters--Biography  cBK  c49380d49380  00102ddc40708BBaMAINbMAINcRN29d2025-09-29e48g640.00l13o823.914 ROYp38401q2027-01-08r2026-10-13 00:00:00s2026-10-13v899.00w2025-09-29yBKzRecommended by Dr. Sunitha T.  00102ddc4070aMAINbMAINcRN29d2026-10-01g599.00l1o823.914 ROY;1pG1790q2026-11-26r2026-10-13 00:00:00s2026-10-13t1v599.00w2026-10-01yGBzDonated by Prof. Debashis Chatterjee
