Rohinton Mistry is one of the Indo-Canadian novelists of note whose novels have won international awards. The volume examines his novels as presenting a clear picture of the socio-economic life in India. It discusses his narration of the history of Parsis in India in the post-independence period. It deals with the many themes he was concerned with especially his diasporic perspective and his approach to issues relating to migration, the importance of the family, including the extended family, cosmopolitanism, national allegory and death. Discussing his Tales from Firozsha Baag, Such a Long Journey, A Fine Balance and Family Matters in detail, it delves into his representation of women as well.
