ABOUT THE BOOK
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography 2025
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction 2026
Finalist for the Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction 2025
The incredible first memoir from the Booker-winning radical icon Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things
'Heart-smashed' by the death of the mother she ran from at age eighteen and shaken by the intensity of her response, Arundhati Roy began this remarkable memoir - a soaring account, both intimate and inspiring, of how the author became the person and 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'.
With the scale, sweep and depth of her novels, 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.
