Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry
4.0

Mistry can do no wrong, he knows how to tell an interesting, spell-binding story. He could be writing on how paint dries on a wall and it would still be interesting.
It was a little daunting a book so long but I always find a book isn't long if the author is this good at their job. What stood out to me while reading this book as Mistry's idea of the ordinary. We a shown how things we find normal in our everyday life is extraordinary to other persons- the train story is a great example.
I also got a better appreciation of old age and dying and how a strong family can help with the process.
Great read!
