Includes a lovely and personal prologue by Shashi Tharoor.
THE BOOK
This book is neither a biography nor simply a self-help text. It is a collection of individual reflections on moments and stories put together from the life of Lily Tharoor. A recollection formed from personal memories, it is a narrative of a strong matriarch. The book is written by Shobha Tharoor, but every chapter starts with an anecdote from Lily Tharoor which paves the way the chapter is to be read and understood by the reader.
