Description
In the vibrant yet corrupt heart of Bombay, an elderly man's fractured ankle forces a reckoning within his fractured family. Nariman Vakeel, battling Parkinson's, finds himself dependent on his children, whose own lives and resentments complicate his care. As he navigates the cramped quarters and strained affections of his daughter's home, the novel delves into profound questions of duty, faith, and the enduring complexities of love. Mistry masterfully weaves a narrative that is both sweeping in its scope and intimately drawn, exploring the resilience of the human spirit amidst personal and societal decay.
