Em and the Big Hoom by Jerry Pinto

Em and the Big HoomEm and the Big Hoom by Jerry Pinto
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The book is the story of a Roman Catholic family consisting of a father, a mother and their daughter and son. The mother suffers from manic depressions and keeps trying to kill herself. Once in the hospital she is cheerful and helps the sisters at the hospital take care of the other patients.

The book describes in elaborate details the emotions that the close relatives of a person with manic depression have to go through on a regular basis.

It also covers a small slice of life in the city of Bombay.

A decent read.
