Summary
Add a SummaryIn mid-1990s Bombay, Nariman Vakeel lives in a crumbling apartment with his two middle-aged stepchildren--the mild-mannered Jal and his domineering sister, Coomy, who plots to turn over the care of her stepfather to her younger sister, Roxana. 448p.
A seventy-nine-year-old man struggles to be independent from his overprotective step-children as he relives his past relationships and contemplates the overwhelming influences family can have on individual lives.
