I picked this up from the library while my casual browsing. The reason I remembered it because of the controversy when it was pulled out of a college syllabus.
Of course curiosity got the better of me even when I was not interested in reading it for the propaganda.
Well this was a quick one (don't let 300 odd pages deter you). It has all that a normal Indian life has to offer. drama, emotion, comedy, tragedy and a lot of hope (even some black magic remedies if you're interested). And of course a lot of Parsi life and rituals in Mumbai. This also was a really thought out novel when a lot of sub plots ended up joining in the larger narration.
I could have avoided a lot of metaphors but then I'm on the other side of writing.
But if you miss this one you're not going to miss much :)
Love
