Tales from Firozsha Baag

£7.99

In “Tales from Firozsha Baag”, Rohinton Mistry brilliantly captures the crowded, throbbing life of India.

In the novel’s eleven intersecting stories, Mistry reveals the rich, complex patterns of life inside a Mumbai apartment building. The occupants - from Jaakaylee, the ghost-seer, through Najamai, the only owner of a refrigerator in Firozsha Baag, to Rustomji the Curmudgeon and Kersi, the boy whose life threads through the book - all express, knowingly of unknowingly, the tensions between the past and the present, between the old world and the new.

Gently compassionate and extremely funny, “Tales from Firozsha Baag” illuminates the meaning of change through the wonderfully textured mosaic of seemingly ordinary lives.
