Tales from Firozsha Baag (Emblem Editions Ser.) by Rohinton Mistry - 1997

In these 11 stories, Rohinton Mistry opens our eyes and our hearts to the rick, complex patterns of life inside Firozsha Baag, an apartment building in Bombay. Her are Jaakaylee, the ghost-seer, and Najamai the only owners of a refrigerator in the building; Rustomji the Curmudgeon and Kersi, the young boy whose life threads through the book and who narrates the final story as an adult in Toronto. We see their passions, their worst fears, their betrayals, and their humorous act of revenge. Witty and poignant, in turns, these intersecting stories create a finely textured mosaic of lives and illuminate a world poised between the old ways nd the new.
