En la lista de los mejores 50 libros del 2025 de Babelia Finalist for the Kirkus Prize Preseleccionado para el Premio del Círculo Nacional de Críticos de Libros en Biografía de 2025 Mejor Libro de los Editores de Amazon de 2025 Libro Notable del New York Times del 2025 El esperado regreso de una autora «superlativamente brillante (The New York Review of Books). La premio Booker por El dios de las pequeñas cosas firma un poderoso memoir sobre su madre, un acontecimiento editorial mundial. «Una de las pensadoras más lúcidas y originales de nuestro tiempo . --Naomi Klein
«Una novelista de finísima sensibilidad. Arundhati Roy es una cazadora de historias de vida .--Javier del Pino, Cadena SER
Destrozada por la muerte de su madre y, al mismo tiempo, desconcertada y «más que un poco avergonzada por la intensidad de su reacción, Arundhati Roy comenzó a escribir estas memorias en un intento de comprender sus sentimientos hacia la madre de la que huyó a los dieciocho años, «no porque no la amara, sino para poder seguir amándola . Así empieza esta historia asombrosa, el libro que Roy lleva «escribiendo toda la vida , un texto radicalmente honesto, divertido y profundamente conmovedor. Con la amplitud, el alcance y la profundidad de novelas tan icónicas como El dios de las pequeñas cosas, este libro es un canto a la libertad y un homenaje al amor espinoso, un último abrazo entre madre e hija. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the list of the best 50 books of 2025 by Babelia Finalist for the Kirkus Prize Longlisted for the 2025 National Book Critics Circle Award on Biography Amazon Editors' Best Book 2025 New York Times 100 Notable Book of 2025 Finalist for the Kirkus Prize A raw and deeply moving memoir from the legendary author of The God of Small Things and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness that traces the complex relationship with her mother, Mary Roy, a fierce and formidable force who shaped Arundhati's life both as a woman and a writer. Mother Mary Comes to Me, Arundhati Roy's first work of memoir, is a soaring account, both intimate and inspirational, 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." "Heart-smashed" by her mother Mary's death in September 2022 yet puzzled and "more than a little ashamed" by the intensity of her response, Roy began to write, to make sense of her feelings about the mother she ran from at age eighteen, "not because I didn't love her, but in order to be able to continue to love her." And so begins this astonishing, sometimes disturbing, and surprisingly funny memoir of the author's journey from her childhood in Kerala, India, where her single mother founded a school, to the writing of her prizewinning novels and essays, through today. 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, Mother Mary Comes to Me is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace--a memoir like no other.
