This Rohinton Mistry set brings together Such a Long Journey, Family Matters, and A Fine Balance — award-winning, Booker-shortlisted works celebrated for their compassion, wit, and unflinching portrayal of Indian life. Perfect for literary fiction fans, book clubs, and anyone drawn to richly human, socially resonant storytelling set against the backdrop of twentieth-century India. About the Books Such a Long Journey, Mistry's celebrated debut, follows Gustad Noble, an ordinary Bombay man whose quiet life is upended by the political turbulence surrounding the 1971 war and the birth of Bangladesh. Blending humour with moral seriousness, it announced Mistry as a major literary voice and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Family Matters turns to Nariman Vakeel, a seventy-nine-year-old Parsi widower living with Parkinson's disease, whose declining health forces his fractured family to confront old resentments, financial strain, and the true cost of care. It is an intimate, deeply moving study of duty and love within an ordinary Bombay household. A Fine Balance, widely regarded as Mistry's masterpiece, unfolds during India's 1975 State of Emergency, following four strangers — a widow, a student, and two tailors — whose lives intertwine in an unnamed coastal city. Praised as a modern Dickensian classic, it was an Oprah's Book Club selection and a finalist for multiple major literary prizes.
