Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry
2.0

This was a very dark difficult book to slog through. It dredges up every fear a child has about switching places with a parent (or even more awkward a parent-in-law) and our reluctance to now be the one caring for them. And in the background the decaying image of Bombay, a parent in its own right whose children don't want to care for it.
