    “Roy reads the audiobook version, rec is to listen when you can really focus, her story demands your full attention. What a life, what a call to be brave and honest in your own life.”

    “Leaves you thinking and feeling long after finishing the book, much like The God of Small Things does. Radical practice of unconditional love. She is incomparable.”

    “A photograph of the world as a banquet with Mrs. Roy as the frame hanging in a house architected by her daughter Arundhati, of one of the great minds of our time.”

    “The Booker Prize winning author writes a memoir which vividly details her harrowing childhood with a volatile mother in India, and her coming of age as a filmmaker and literary star worldwide. Remarkable storytelling.”
