Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry
Family life turns topsy-turvy when Nariman Vakeel injures himself and his middle-aged stepchildren have a bedridden invalid on their hands. The cast of characters in this seemingly mundane story astounded me. Bombay comes alive: whether in the realm of business, home, politics or religion, Mistry cunningly reveals the little acts of love and betrayal that often go unnoticed, but that make all the difference in life. Never a dull moment, even bedpan scenes are unforgettable!
