Such A Beautiful Journey

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you want a look at true talent, read this book.
Review: Canadian author, Rohinton Mistry, made headlines in Canada when Oprah put her stamp of approval on "A Fine Balance." Instead of rushing out to pick up a copy, I opted to take a look at Mistry's first foray into fiction for two reasons: (1) It's a...

Professional Reviews

  Ray, David, New York Times Book Review: "Mr. Mistry catches the unsettling effects on everyday life of the many upheavals afflicting India in the 1960's and 1970's....Many of the novel's passionate political concerns seem warmed over. It is often unclear what tone Mr. Mistry is reaching for. While he is clearly capable of trenchant, fierce political satire, 'Such a Long Journey' only occasionally reaches the comic heights scaled by the stories in 'Swimming Lessons'....None the less, Rohinton Mistry's is a strong voice, and a welcome one."

Paperback, Such a Long Journey
It is Bombay in 1971, the year India went to war over what was to become Bangladesh. A hard-working bank clerk, Gustad Noble is a devoted family man who gradually sees his modest life unravelling. His young daughter falls ill; his promising son defies his father s ambitions for him. He is the one reasonable voice amidst the ongoing dramas of his neighbours. One day, he receives a letter from an old friend, asking him to help in what at first seems like an heroic mission. But he soon finds himself unwittingly drawn into a dangerous network of deception. Compassionate, and rich in details of character and place, this unforgettable novel charts the journey of a moral heart in a turbulent world of change.
