Recensioner i media

Brave and absorbing . . . In this remarkable memoir, the Booker-winning novelist looks back on her bittersweet relationship with her mercurial mother . . . The world described in the first part of the book provides much of the material for The God of Small Things. But these pages aren’t significant for giving us access to Roy’s inspiration, or as a preamble to her life as a bestselling writer who would go on to become an oppositional political voice. Even if she were none of these things or had never written her novel, they would be utterly absorbing. They have a wonderful, self-assured self-sufficiency

    Arundhati Roy's detailed presentation of her childhood, with an absent father, and a brilliant but vicious mother, is an in-depth study of the upbringing that led to her becoming very original and successful novelist, Her first book, The god of small things, won the Booker prize. This book explains how that novel came into being, and explores the complex mother-daughter relationship. It also explains her strong commitment to social justice in India.
