Family Matters
by Rohinton Mistry
I am so glad I finally got to this book. I have read and enjoyed Rohinton Mistry's other works so I thought I would enjoy this but as it's so long I was still hesitant.
This wasn't my favourite of his books but I still really liked it. Plot was, this book was a bit lacking especially considering how long this book was. However, the writing was so compelling and the characters so well developed and fleshed out that this book didn't feel as long as it did.
Starting out, I wasn't the biggest fan of this book and was worried I wasn't going to like it but I really enjoyed it. Once I got into it though I just flew through it and I was so invested in the lives of these characters.
As always with this author's books, it was nice learning more about the Parsi community in India and getting a closer look at Bombay. This book was quite sad at parts as I expected, but it wasn't quite as sad as A Fine Balance, which remains my favourite of his works.
I don't know if this book is for everyone so I wouldn't give an overall recommendation, but if it seems interesting then I would say check it out.
