"Mother Mary Comes to Me"

by Arundhati Roy

Friday, September 18, at 11 am
 

Mother Mary Comes to Me is a memoir by Arundhati Roy published in 2025. It is centered on the eventful life of her mother Mary Roy, who is "sharp, restless and charismatic, a visionary ruling with an iron fist" and Arundhati Roy's relations with her. In the author's own words, it is "about my relationship with my mother, about how she made me the kind of writer that I am - and then resented it". However, the book is also "a search for the roots of Roy’s own evolution into a writer". One commentator termed it a "biography cum autobiography of two remarkable women."

This is a DROP-IN BOOK CLUB, Village members can come to any meeting.  There are no dues, no requirement to participate. We hope those interested in joining will read the book beforehand and be ready to engage in a lively discussion. Each meeting will be moderated by one of the members.
