Obiteljske stvari

Obiteljske stvari

Rohinton Mistry

A story about family love, about memory's ability to keep the truth alive, and about the danger of denying memory. At the same time extensive and intimate, comic and tragic, it is a kaleidoscopic, deeply emotional saga about home and the heart.

In the early 1990s in Bombay, the retired Shakespearean scholar Nariman Vakeel falls ill with Parkinson's disease and falls under the burden of his stepson Jal and stepdaughter Coomy. While they struggle to care for the infirm old man, he remembers the tragic death of their mother, for which he feels guilty. Soon they decide to take the father to his daughter Roxana who lives in a small apartment with her husband Yezad and her two boys. But the tragic death of the jealous Coomy forces Jal to question his conscience.

Until then, Roxana's humble family is having a hard time coping, both mentally and financially, with the burden of her grandfather's illness. All this takes place in the community of Parsi-Zoroasterians who share the difficulties of a small confessional community in a metropolis of millions. At the same time, this is a poignant novel about multinational Bombay in the modern world, seen mostly through the eyes of a boy growing up.
