{"product_id":"family-matters-9780375703423","title":"Family Matters","description":"Rohinton Mistry's enthralling novel is at once a domestic drama and an intently observed portrait of present-day Bombay in all its vitality and corruption. At the age of seventy-nine, Nariman Vakeel, already suffering from Parkinson's disease, breaks an ankle and finds himself wholly dependent on his family. His step-children, Coomy and Jal, have a spacious apartment (in the inaptly named Chateau Felicity), but are too squeamish and resentful to tend to his physical needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNariman must now turn to his younger daughter, Roxana, her husband, Yezad, and their two sons, who share a small, crowded home. Their decision will test not only their material resources but, in surprising ways, all their tolerance, compassion, integrity, and faith. Sweeping and intimate, tragic and mirthful, \u003cb\u003eFamily Matters\u003c\/b\u003e is a work of enormous emotional power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375703423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.24w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2003 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/23\/2003 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rohinton Mistry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636686385308,"sku":"9780375703423","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a1242ebc-a68a-49a2-87ec-be387e2e4a57.jpg?v=1603842644","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/family-matters-9780375703423","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
