Nariman Vakeel, the patriarch of a small discordant family, is beset by Parkinson’s and haunted by memories of his past. He lives with his two middle-aged stepchildren, Coomy, bitter and domineering, and her brother, Jal, mild-mannered and acquiescent. But the burden of the illness worsens the already strained family relationships. Soon, their sweet-tempered half-sister, Roxana, is forced to assume sole responsibility for her bedridden father. And Roxana’s husband, besieged by financial worries, devises a scheme of deception involving his eccentric employer at a sporting goods store, setting in motion a series of events that leads to the narrative’s moving outcome. \u003ci\u003eFamily Matters\u003c\/i\u003e has all the richness, the gentle humour, and the narrative sweep that have earned Mistry the highest of accolades around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rohinton-mistry-books\"\u003eRohinton Mistry\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780771061288\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.00","offer_id":47914233659569,"sku":"SB-0771061285-C4","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0771061285.jpg?v=1789678185","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/family-matters","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
