( Details ) Canadian Author | ISBN: 0771061285 Published: February 2003 | Published by McClelland & Stewart From the Publisher Family Matters is Rohinton Mistry’s eagerly anticipated third novel, following the success of his highly acclaimed A Fine Balance (1995), which won several major literary awards internationally. This new novel takes us to Bombay in the mid-1990s. Nariman Vakeel is a seventy-nine-year-old Parsi widower and the patriarch of a small discordant family. Beset by Parkinson’s disease and haunted by memories of the past, he lives in a once-elegant apartment with his two middle-aged stepchildren – Coomy, bitter and domineering, and her brother, Jal, mild-mannered and acquiescent. When Nariman’s illness is compounded by a broken ankle, Coomy plots to turn his round-the-clock care over to Roxana, his sweet-tempered sister. She succeeds, but not without cost, and eventually Nariman takes up residence with Roxana, her husband, Yezad, and their two young sons. The effect of the new responsibility on Yezad, who is already besieged by financial worries, pushes him into a scheme of deception involving Vikram Kapur, his eccentric, often exasperating employer at Bombay Sporting Goods Emporium. This sets in motion a series of events – a great unravelling and a revelation of the family’s love-torn past – that leads to the narrative’s final outcome. In this wise and compassionate novel, Mistry has once again created a beautifully realized world. As his unforgettable characters confront situations over which they have no control, their tragedies and their triumphs ultimately become our own. Family Matters has all the richness, the gentle humour, and the narrative sweep that have earned Rohinton Mistry the highest of accolades around the world. It is a stunning achievement from one of the finest writers of our time. Review Quotes “Once again, Rohinton Mistry has written an absolutely fabulous novel.” –Noah Richler, National Post “He ought to be considered simply one of the best writers, Indian or otherwise, now alive.” – Atlantic Monthly “The reader is moved, even to tears, by these rites of passage among characters we have lived with long enough to feel as family. . . . The exercise of compassion, by the writer and then by the reader, remains one of the novel’s chief duties and complex pleasures.” –John Updike, The New Yorker “A magnetic tale that comes as close to perfect as a novel can get.” – Booklist “Magnificent.… Family Matters could well be one of the finest novels most of us will ever read. It is certainly a masterpiece.” – Irish Times “Warm, humane, tender and bittersweet.…The author of A Fine Balance again explores the tightrope act that constitutes life on this planet.…This beautifully paced, elegantly expressed novel is notable for the breadth of its vision as well as its immensely appealing characters and enticing plot.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review) “For the purposefulness and clarity of his moral vision, there is no better writer living in Canada today.…Mistry weaves a marvelous tapestry.…” –Montreal Gazette “ Family Matters moves and engages at every moment.…Mistry is among the most distinguished of the Indian writers currently visible, partly because he does not try to make India itself his main subject.…His real territory if the divided heart.” –Pico Iyer, The New York Review of Books “Heart-breaking and utterly beguiling.…” – The Herald (U.K.) “Compassionately attentive to the blend of tragedy and comedy and strikes the notes of each with grace, precision and tenderness.…” – Edmonton Journal “Impressive. . . . Wry and richly perceptive.…” – Times Literary Supplement “A giant among writers.…A vibrant and full-bodied novel.” – Chicago Tribune “Compelling and rich.…” – Globe and Mail “With deceptive simplicity, Mistry draws his fine balance between scepticism and affirmation, faith and bigotry, family nurture and control.” – The Guardian (U.K.) [He is] blessed by talent as natural as breathing.…” – Maclean’s “His prose style is as clear as a pane of newly polished glass.” – The Economist “Mistry remains one of our most important writers –one of our most important moral voices.…” – Quill & Quire From the Hardcover edition.
