The incredible first memoir from the Booker-winning radical icon Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things

Arundhati Roy's first work of memoir, this is 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 complex relationship to the extraordinary, singular mother she describes as 'my shelter and my storm'.

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.
