Lisa Ray: CLOSE TO THE BONE – a memoir

Lisa Ray’s bestselling debut novel ‘Close to the Bone’ chronicles her life in a personal and moving narrative. Her illustrious career in the modelling and entertainment arts began at the early age of sixteen. Recognised as one of India’s first supermodels, Lisa has made several forays into acting, memorably in the Oscar-nominated ‘Water’, and television ('Top Chef Canada' and 'Oh My Gold'). Her upcoming acting releases include A.R. Rahman’s first production, ‘99 Songs’. When she was first diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2009, she chose to share her experiences in a blog called ‘The Yellow Diaries’ which led to the publication of her much-acclaimed memoir. She is a well-known advocate for cancer awareness through her writing and public talks. She often shuttles between Mumbai and the world and in the past, she has also lived in Hong Kong for 4 years.
