Roy draws on multiple strands of her early years, unveiling an empathetic and at the same time marvelously satirical portrait of an eccentric extended family with a fondness for spectacular family feuds. From the acclaimed author of The God of Small Things, this deeply personal work explores Roy's maternal lineage with her signature blend of lyrical prose and sharp social observation. A compelling memoir that illuminates the forces that shaped one of literature's most distinctive voices.

Why We Picked It: Because Roy's ability to weave the personal and political into unforgettable narratives extends beautifully to memoir. Her exploration of family, identity, and the complexities of growing up offers the same rich storytelling and keen insights that made her fiction so powerful, while revealing the roots of her extraordinary literary voice.
