A father’s quiet dignity. A country in crisis. A journey that reshapes everything.
Such a Long Journey by Rohinton Mistry is a richly layered novel set in 1971 Bombay, during a time of intense political and social unrest. With compassion, honesty, and literary brilliance, Mistry offers a poignant portrait of an ordinary man caught in the crosshairs of history, family, and personal conscience.
At the heart of the novel is Gustad Noble, a hardworking bank clerk and devoted family man. He tries to maintain order in a life that’s quietly crumbling—his eldest son refuses to attend college, his close friend disappears under suspicious circumstances, and a secret letter from the past drags him into a dangerous web of government corruption.
As the world around him shifts—from political scandals and communal tensions to the slow unraveling of family trust—Gustad is forced to confront truths he’s long avoided. What begins as a quiet, domestic story soon becomes a powerful exploration of morality, identity, and resilience in the face of betrayal and loss.
Mistry’s prose is both lyrical and deeply grounded in the everyday. He crafts characters that feel achingly real, placing them in situations that test their values and strength. Such a Long Journey is not just about one man’s challenges—it’s about the endurance of the human spirit amidst chaos.
