Description

Buy Family Matters Old Book, Authored by Rohinton Mistry, Faber & Faber in paperback binding in the Indian writing genre from the Used Book Store.

Nariman Wakeel, a 79-year-old Parsi widower who suffers from Parkinson’s disease and is haunted by memories of his past, lives with his two middle-aged stepchildren in a once-elegant apartment.
As his condition worsened, he was forced to live with Roxanne, his daughter, her husband Yezad, and their two young sons. The new responsibilities strain Yezad, already burdened by financial problems, and lead him into fraud.
This sets off a chain of events – a big reveal and revelation of the love-torn family’s past that leads to the outcome of the tale.
