Nariman Vakeel, the patriarch of a small discordant family, is beset by Parkinson’s and haunted by memories of his past. He lives with his two middle-aged stepchildren, Coomy, bitter and domineering, and her brother, Jal, mild-mannered and acquiescent. But the burden of the illness worsens the already strained family relationships. Soon, their sweet-tempered half-sister, Roxana, is forced to assume sole responsibility for her bedridden father. And Roxana’s husband, besieged by financial worries, devises a scheme of deception involving his eccentric employer at a sporting goods store, setting in motion a series of events that leads to the narrative’s moving outcome. Family Matters has all the richness, the gentle humour, and the narrative sweep that have earned Mistry the highest of accolades around the world.

U isti mah opsežna i intimna, komična i tragična, kaleidoskopska je, duboko osjećajna saga o domu i srcu. Početkom devedesetih u Bombaju šekspirolog u mirovini Nariman Vakeel oboli od Parkinsonove bolesti i padne na teret posinku Jalu i pokćerki Coomy. Dok se oni muče skrbeći za nemoćnog starca, on u sjećanju prebire tragičnu smrt njihove majke, zbog čega osjeća krivnju. Uskoro oni odluče odnijeti oca njegovoj kćeri Roxani koja živi u malom stanu s mužem Yezadom i svoja dva dječaka. Ali tragična smrt kivne Coomy prisili Jala da preispita svoju savjest. Dotle se skromna Roxanina obitelj teško nosi, i duševno i financijski, s teretom djedove bolesti. Sve se to odvija u zajednici Parsa-zoroasterijanca koji dijele teškoće male konfesionalne zajednice u milijunskoj metropoli. Ujedno je ovo i potresni roman o višenacionalnom Bombaju u suvremenom svijetu, viđen ponajviše očima dječaka u odrastanju.
