...center of Mistry's fine new novel Family Matters (Faber and Faber; 487 pages) is Nariman Vakeel, a 79-year-old Parsi widower besieged equally by Parkinson's disease and his middle-aged stepchildren, Coomy and Jal. Nariman is also haunted by memories of the real love of his life, a Catholic Goan whom he did not marry in deference to the "marriage arrangers, the wilful manufacturers of misery," a failure of courage that resulted in scandal and tragedy.
