This is the story of an Indian man, who lives with his wife, son, mother and sister in an old crumbling house. He fears for his job, worries constantly about finances, and his duty to his family. He has many regrets and life is mostly a worrisome disappointment for him. When his daughter and her Canadian husband are killed in Canada, he brings his 7 year old granddaughter, who has never met her mother's family, home with him. Despite all this, it's a beautifully written story with many flashes of humor, beauty and humanity, with plenty of sympathetic and likeable characters.
