Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A raw and deeply moving memoir from the legendary author that explores her complex relationship with her mother, Mary Roy, a formidable influence in her life as a woman and a writer. This first memoir is an intimate and inspirational account of how the author became who she is, shaped by her circumstances and her extraordinary mother, whom she describes as “my shelter and my storm.” Heartbroken by her mother’s death in September 2022 and grappling with the intensity of her grief, the author began to write to understand her feelings about the mother she distanced herself from at eighteen, “not because I didn’t love her, but in order to be able to continue to love her.” This memoir chronicles her journey from childhood in Kerala, where her single mother founded a school, to her acclaimed novels and essays. With the emotional depth of her previous works and the clarity and warmth of her essays, this memoir serves as an ode to freedom and a tribute to complex love and grace. It is a unique exploration of the author's life and relationships, blending humor with poignant reflections on love and loss.
