Dear Bookclub,
Arundhati Roy's "Mother Mary Comes to Me" jolted as anticipated. Mrs. Roy dances in the chorus line of abusive mothers yet perhaps she is the one your eye gravitates to on stage; her whirlwind of oddity cannot be overlooked. Arundhati's memoir accentuates the unconventional upbringing, amazing us with her independent break, the reunion with her no-less-colorful father, and ultimately bucking the system with unexpected choices. We felt bogged down with the interlude of political history and social advocacy. Terrie was distracted by her dislike of the author. Many of us never considered that aspect but I must admit, I have thought about it since her mention. The powerful writing carried me through with admiration of Roy's artfully crafted phrases. Astonishing stories presented poetically, thrilled.
