Description

Rohinton Mistry’s enthralling novel reaches once a domestic crisis and a carefully observed face of present day Bombay in most its vigor and problem. In the age of seventy nine, Nariman Vakeel, currently struggling with Parkinson’s illness, breaks an ankle and discovers herself totally determined by his family. His step children, Coomy and Jal, have a roomy condo (within the inaptly called Chateau Felicity), but are also squeamish and resentful to often his bodily desires. Nariman should now change to his young daughter, Roxana, her husband, Yezad, and their two kids, who reveal a little, packed house.
