I loved this book. Mistry is a wonderful writer, for his storyline, his characters, the scene-setting observations and language, and the weaving of all of this to make an engaging and compelling whole. There is so much in here, all of it learned as we read about Nariman, his two step-children, his daughter and son-in-law, and his two grandsons. Family knows no boundaries; it is the same worldwide with the same issues to deal with. An invalid parent needs care, but who provides it, and why, and how. Decisions are made with sometimes disasterous consequences. I, as a reader, became more and more drawn in to the son-in-law's story, and more baffled as to his choices. Great story that stays with you past the last page.
