Family Matters was just as good as A Fine Balance. Mistry is so good at depicting day to day life of Indian culture. I couldn't put this book down because my interest was peaked all through the book. I felt the family problems like they were happening to my own family and wanted more confrontation between the characters so that it would better their lives. But Mistry had a plan for the characters from the begining. I loved every detail.

I was hooked on this novel from the very first page, and read over 100 pages the first sitting. Very well written, very true-to-life.
