Love this so much, Moni -- how deeply you connected with her book and how that connection took you even deeper into considering your own life with your Ma. I especially love how you describe the days after the book, when you sunk even deeper still into all Arundhati brought to mind. Beautifully done <3
I loved every word, Moni. I know you’ve told me some of the details of this time in your life, but they feel more vivid as I read your words. Excited to read more of your writing!
Beautiful, Moni. I thought of you immediately when I read the first review of Arundhati Roy's memoir, which I can't wait to read. Thank you for sharing this reminiscence.
I love every word of this, Moni. How beautifully written, and poignant, and haunting, and uplifting in its way. Thanks for sharing it. Hope to see you in November!

So very beautiful. And I've heard such legendary stories about The Flambeau from Eileen.
And I have heard so much about YOU. Looking forward to a day when we might meet.
Just gorgeous, Moni! And that ending! Oof 💕
