The captivating book by Rohinton Mistry is both a home drama and a closely studied depiction of modern-day Bombay in all its dynamism and corruption. Nariman Vakeel, who is already 79 years old and has Parkinson's disease, fractures his ankle and becomes completely reliant on his family. Coomy and Jal, his stepchildren, live in the appropriately called Chateau Felicity and have a large apartment, but they are too squeamish and spiteful to take care of his bodily needs.
Now, Nariman has to deal with Roxana, his younger daughter, her husband Yezad, and their two boys who live in a tiny, crammed house together. Their choice will put all of their tolerance, compassion, honesty, and religion to the test—as well as their financial resources, in unexpected ways. Fascinating and personal, sorrowful and humorous, Family Matters has a great deal of emotional impact.
