Walk & Talk Book Club - Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy | Sunday 26 July, 4-6pm

Join us for our next WALK & TALK book club on Arundhati Roy's raw, tender, and honest memoir on her relationship with her extraordinary mum - Mother Mary Comes to Me. We'll take an hour's walk in and around Durham before heading back to the shop to enjoy tea, cake, and even more conversation.

---

‘Heart-smashed’ by the death of the mother she ran from at age eighteen and shaken by the intensity of her response, Arundhati Roy began this remarkable memoir – 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 relationship to her extraordinary, singular mother, Mary, who she describes as ‘my shelter and my storm’.

With the scale, sweep and depth of her novels, 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.
