Family Matters
Rohinton Mistry
Set against the backdrop of a politically corrupt Bombay in the 1990s, this is a story of a family stretched and tested by religion and duty to family. Retired professor Nariman Vakeel once loved another woman, but succumbed to his parents, and Parsi society’s wishes, and married instead a widow with two children. Now elderly and stricken with Parkinson’s disease, he is moved from the large apartment he shares with his stepchildren into the tiny apartment of the family of his daughter Roxanna. Lives change in this beautifully told story.

Hindi-Bindi Club
Monica Pradhan
The Hindi-Bindi Club has been meeting regularly for decades for food, gossip and friendship. The women of the club all share a common heritage – they left their native India as young women – and are all now mothers of grown American daughters. Told in alternating chapters, each woman is given voice and long-held secrets are revealed. This is a story of East meets West, of the importance of food (includes recipes), and the special bond between mothers and daughters.
