Publisher's Summary
"A thrilling journey inwards as much as outwards.... A must-read." (Freida Pinto)
"How fortunate a thing it is, when life alters you without warning."
Lisa Ray is one of India's first supermodels. She's also an actor, a cancer survivor, a mother of twins through surrogacy. She is a woman who has lived many lives. And this is her story.
Close to the Bone is an unflinching, deeply moving account of Lisa Ray's life, tracing her childhood in Canada as the biracial daughter of an Indian man and a Polish woman, her rise as a popular Bollywood star and her battle with a rare, incurable cancer. Transporting and atmospheric, it takes listeners across the world, from Toronto in the 1970s, when Lisa was desperately trying to find place and purpose, to the intense, frenetic streets of Bombay, where, unmoored and lost, she began her film career; from the hot and sweaty sensuality of Colombo, a place where she finally began finding acceptance, to the romance of Holland Park in London.
At once funny, charming and gut-wrenchingly honest, Close to the Bone is Lisa Ray's brave and inspiring story of a life lived on her own terms.

Incredibly honest, catchy and real!
Lisa Ray was a familiar name from amongst celebrities in India. Everything else unknown about her has been narrated so succinctly and engaging way by her in own voice that this book is likely to remain a treasure to be revisited periodically!

Amazing life story and narrating!!
Lisa Rani!! an amazing soul... I knew very little about her until I decided to listen to her autobiography.... Initially, it took time to get hooked to her story, but not very later it starts creating interest ... An unbiased account of the life story is something very few people dare to publicize ... and most importantly, there is no judging of any other person who came into her life .... Lisa Rani 1.0 and Lisa Rani 2.0 depict that both the lives were and are being lived to the fullest .... 1.0 is a life full of serendipity .... to go with the flow of events of the life ... 2.0 is more of an understanding of the emotions and feelings of other person in one's life .... a more responsible self .... whatever she did in life she gave it a 100% ... that is something to definitely take away from the autobiography .... the way in which she narrated her story makes the readers get closer to her and experience life along with her .... Hindi words used intermittently sound a bit funny but cute ... In the end I would give her my blessings and loving kindness .... May she live on to be with her caring and loving husband, enjoy her children grow and inspire more souls!

Masterpiece!
This is one of the best auto biographies I have ever read.Honest, unapologetic, witty, heart wrenching at many times. She's like an open book and beautifully connects all the dots. Everything right from her birth, graduation, the accidental career in modelling and films, her inhibitions, eating disorders, spiritual journey, finding her true love, fighting the fatal disease etc.
In the order of the events occurred she could've well become SD, MD or BB of the Indian film industry but she was happy being herself and that makes her special! There was and there can be only one Lisa Rani Ray!
Oh how well she articulates! Her vocabulary, the flow of her words, how she puts her thoughts alluring the readers into her world, be it Canada, Bombay, the several shoots, her pilgrim travels, her happiest or worst of her times when her body rebelled against her mind. Absolutely natural story teller! I am a Sidney Sheldon fan and always used to wonder how he picturized the characters of his book. They were so well scripted to exactly imagine how they looked and all. But this lady Lisa is no less and even adds on to the emotional aspects of the person. Be it how she described her parents, her childhood crush, short mention of her friend Dorothy, Morkel or any one else, they appear to be standing next to you and you know them personally. Bonafide writer for sure!
All the CBs and bestseller authors of India, please step aside and make way for the Rani, for she is here to rock!

A life worth knowing
Lisa didn't confine herself in one thing. Life should be explored like hers. Her narration is intimate.
