EM AND THE BIG HOOM (PB)

Set in Bombay during the last
decades of the twentieth century, Em and The Big Hoom tells the compelling
story of the Mendeses mother, father, daughter and son. Between Em, the beedi
smoking, hyperactive mother, driven frequently to hospital by her mania and
failed suicide attempts and the Big Hoom, the rock solid, dependable father,
trying to hold things together as best he can, they are an extraordinary
family. Winner of ‘The Hindu’ Literary Prize 2012
