In Rohinton Mistry’s drama about a Parsi family in Bombay, a painful past and a present deception combine to unravel the ties of affection.

Growing increasingly cantankerous and frail, 79-year-old widower Nariman goes to live with his daughter, setting in motion a series of events that do nothing to relieve growing family conflict. Interwoven in the struggles and dramas of his characters is Mistry’s vibrant portrait of contemporary Bombay, with its religious divides and economic difficulties.

"Mistry harks back to the nineteenth-century novelists, for whom every detail, every urban alley, every character however lowly added a vital piece to the full social picture, and for whom every incident illustrated the eventually crushing weight of the world. Liveliness, precision, weight: these old-fashioned mimetic virtues, and the broad sympathy that calls them into being, cannot be taken for granted...In a world of hurry and quick artistic killing, Mistry has kept the patience to tease narrative and moral interest out of domestic life, in a subcontinent of more than a billion striving, often desperate souls."  -  John Updike, The New Yorker
