First Edition. Fine copy in the original color-printed, stiff-card wrappers. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Physical description; 500 p. ; 18 cm. Summary; The long-awaited new novel from the twice Booker-shortlisted author. Family Matters is an intricate story of domestic conflict set against modern-day Bombay. The story centres on a 79-year-old Parsi widower named Nariman who lives with his step-son and step-daughter. Nariman's wife died many years before, leaving behind the two children from her first marriage and the daughter, Roxana, they had together. Wanting above all for Roxana not to have to live with him in this 'house of unhappiness' as he calls it, Nariman spent all his money to give her and her husband, Yezad, a place of their own. Now, beset by Parkinson's Disease, Nariman tries to endure his family's protectiveness until he finally defies their wishes and ventures outside. He falls and hurts his ankle and after a brief stay in hospital comes home more needy and cantankerous than ever. His step-children can't cope and Nariman goes to live with Roxana and Yezad. This sets in motion a series of events which do nothing to assuage growing family conflict and the unravelling of affections. Once again this author has created a beautifully realised world with all too human characters. This novel has all the richness, the compassion and the narrative sweep that have earned Rohinton Mistry the highest of accolades and prizes around the world. It is a stunning achievement.

1st edition. Uncorrected proof. Very good paperback copy; edges slightly dust-dulled and nicked. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, and clean. Physical description: 488p. Summary: "Nariman Vakeel, a seventy-nine-year-old Parsi widower, beset by Parkinson's disease and haunted by memories of the past, lives in a once-elegant apartment with his two middle-aged stepchildren. When his condition worsens he is forced to take up residence with Roxana, his own daughter, her husband, Yezad, and their two young sons. The effect of the new responsibility on Yezad, who is already besieged by financial worries, pushes him into a scheme of deception. This sets in motion a series of events - a great unravelling and a revelation of the family's love-torn past, that leads to the narrative's final outcome." - from the publisher.

2nd edition. Tipped-in card, SIGNED and inscribed by the author. Slight spine lean. Near fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper, now mylar sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Copy is not price-clipped. Physical description; 614 pages ; 24 cm. Summary;A novel set in India during the Emergency, by the author of "Such a Long Journey". In the tiny flat of the widowed Dina Dalal, two tailors and a young student struggle to put together a new life of sorts amid the crisis, and in the course of doing so encounter a vivid cast of characters. Review: It's long, it's full of life, and it's a really fast-paced read. Mistry is a master storyteller and knows how to hold a reader's interest. The plot concerns the interconnected fortunes of four characters; of Ishvar and Omprakesh Darji, rural tailors adrift in a fictionalised Bombay, Maneck Kohlah, an unworldly student form the Himalayas, and Dina Dalal, owner of the constricted flat where these lives collide. The book weighs heavy but reads light, brimful with comic incident, fear and farce, as Mistry unfolds how each character copes in the aftermath of the internal emergency of 1970s India. Liberally sprinkled with local detail and language, the personal takes precedence over the polemical and a complex tale emerges involving a wide cast of incidental, but memorable characters. Like all good feasts, this novel is to be savoured slowly. Subjects; India - Social conditions - 1947- - Fiction. India - Politics and government - 1975-1977 - Fiction. India - Fiction.
