Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry is a deeply affecting novel that demands both emotional investment and sustained attention from its readers.

Its exploration of family, duty, and decline unfolds with a quiet intensity that can be as rewarding as it is challenging. This depth was evident in our book club discussion: while not everyone made it to the end, those who did engaged in a lively and thoughtful conversation.

Overall, the book earned a solid 4 out of 5, a testament to its impact, even if it was not an easy read.
