I feel this deeply. Thank you. Will be bumping this up on my priority list
@ritareadthat Aaaah that means the world to me my friend… 🙏🖤 I think you would love this absolute marvel of a book. This woman is something to behold.
Thanks Melanie! I have a feeling I will like it too
“….completely floored by, enamored with and forever in awe of this gangster’s ardent daughter”. This is how I felt and then some. Thank you for this wonderful review.
I’m still weeping after finishing this book. ‘ I am completely floored by, enamored with and forever in awe of this gangster’s ardent daughter.’ Absolutely!
A stunning and inspirational review, Melanie! I can't wait to read this one.
What a gorgeous review of a gorgeous memoir. Stated so much better than I could. LOVE:
How the miracle that is Arundhati Roy bloomed from the fires of her childhood is something I will never understand and understand only too well. It is the same fire-fed genius that we see in Sinéad O’Connor, Billie Holiday, Bruce Springsteen or Karl Ove Knausgård. Renegade artists who never felt safe and met the world head-on with hungry hearts and a bone-deep aversion to injustice.

"The challenge for those of us who are not chosen, and instead watch love pass us by, is to learn from it, marvel at it, and not grow bitter and incapable of love ourselves."
