Shelter and Storm

Some books arrive at the right moment; others wait patiently until life prepares us to read them. I began working on this piece in early April, but a tragedy that struck our family later that month forced me to leave it unfinished. Honestly, I was gone blank. Every time I opened my laptop with the intention of completing the draft, I found myself unable to write. I simply did not have the courage. The person around whom our lives revolved is no longer with us, and the silence left behind made every word feel unbearably heavy. Today, however, I gathered some strength to return to my desk and continue where I had left off. With a heart still carrying grief, I write about Mother Mary Comes to me- a bittersweet mother-daughter tale. It was a rainy afternoon back in 2018 when one friend handed me the copy of The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, when after a brief hiatus we met over a delicious cup of coffee to have our usual discourse on art and literature going. When I first cracked open The God of Small Things I felt like stepping into Keralams sultry monsoon-humid, tangled and alive with secrets. It wasnt just a novel it was a dream where the air hummed with the scent of old river water and forbidden love. The novel pulled me under its spell and opened a new horizon where I embraced the words of Roy like a surgeons scalpel. It remains one of the most heart wrenching and memorable books I have ever read. It left me gasping for breath. It opened a new world for me and soon after I finished reading all of her works. Recently it was a privilege to get to read her newly published memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me- an intimate and intoxicating work that not only gives a glimpse into the life of the author herself but also into her tumultuous relationship with her mother, her gangster, Mary Roy whom the author called my shelter and my storm. That duality runs through every page. The memoir is not a confession but a confrontation. A beautiful dialogue between mother and daughter, between history and its witness, between love and defiance, inheritance and exile. Arundhati Roy writes with a sage like calm and composure, bruising through the life of her teacher, activist, litigant, and survivor mother- Mary Roy, the heart and soul of this memoir. Reading it I found myself constantly going back to the stray passages from The God of Small Things and found in them a deeper emotional resonance and humour that I had missed previously. Mary Roys life has been regarded as legendary. Her successful legal battle for womens inheritance rights in Kerala (now Keralam) reshaped Indian law. Her founding of Corpus Christian School transformed the dream of young Indian girls into reality. The spirit she instilled in the young minds was nothing short of a revolutionary. She gave them spines, she gave them wings and she set them free. She bequeathed her unwavering attention and her stern love on them, and they shone back at her. She was the burning flame of courage and defiance. She lit their path and showed the way. Mrs Roys discipline was uncompromising her ambition cataclysmic. She became the maternal figure-nurturing yet coercive, visionary yet intolerant of dissent. Between her bouts of rage Mrs Roy backed her daughter, and if Mrs Roy backed her then nothing was impossible. She could be anything she wanted to be. Such was the charisma of Mrs Roy. As she writes in the memoir, The world was too ridiculous for me to remain too sad for too long. Mary Roys childhood memories, marked by authoritarian control, domestic abuse, and emotional suppression shape her adult personality. Her failed marriage, financial instability and social stigma further deepen her emotional stubbornness. This unhealed trauma shows up in her parenting style by replacing tenderness with discipline, ambition replacing emotional reassurance and criticism becoming a tool of control. This fractured structure mirrors the psychic cost of surviving in a world that insists on coherence when truth itself is a chaotic. Mother Mary Comes to Me is full of fearlessness. It is a practice one repeats. Each chapter bears the quiet courage of someone who understands that truth once spoken with candor cannot be gathered back. It was a journey of rediscovering Roy; I also hold a soft spot for Mary Roy-a woman who derived joy from her career and perhaps, not meant for the nurture and care expected of motherhood. What I enjoyed most about the book is that, it reveals more about Arundhati Roy than her mother. Arundhati Roy: a person who is courageous, brave, angry, kind hearted, insecure and extraordinarily human. Arundhati Roy refuses the moral script designated for women. The corollary to son-worship. The land where sons must be given more than daughters, more of everything-love, money, education and inheritance. The land of infanticide and female foeticide, in which millions of daughters are done away with even before they are born, and few just after. To precisely put, a land that glorifies mothers who produce and then glorify their sons. She insists that intellect and insubordination can coexist. Her voice is both her weapon and wound. That insistence is what makes the memoir revolutionary. In an age of fleeting attention, Arundhati Roy offers permanence-not in fame, but in fidelity to truth. As she writes in the memoir; For me the safest place in the world is also the most dangerous. This encapsulates the emotional heart of the memoir. Roy is honest about pain, resentment and complexity in this memoir. Roy does not hide the emotional trauma she experienced. Her transition from resentment to empathy shows how the author matures as her perspectives shift. Long after I had finished reading the book, one sentence continues to echo in my mind, she was my shelter she was my storm. It is more than a daughters description of her mother; it is the emotional axis around which the entire memoir revolves. Within those few words lies the complexity of every enduring relationship- the strange truth that those who offer us our deepest sense of belonging are often the very people who leave us carrying our deepest wound. Mother Mary Comes to Me is a victory lap for an activist and educator who devoted her entire life to imagining and building a smarter and healthier India but most of all its a beautiful peek into a fascinating person, told with Roys signature wit, candour and whimsical charm. The memoir is a treasure for those who are fans of Roy, and an intensely readable, charming introduction for those unfamiliar with her works. The author hails from Keran Valley of Kupwara District.
