Bombay Time (book)

Bombay Time is a novel by Thrity Umrigar about the longtime residents of a Parsi apartment building in Bombay and their love-hate relationship with Mumbai, the city of their birth. As they gather at the wedding of one of their neighbors, these middle-aged men and women look back at their younger selves with wistfulness and nostalgia.

The novel traces Adi Patel's disintegration into alcoholism; indicts Dosamai, the neighborhood gossip; delineates the romantic betrayal of Soli Contractor; and tells the story of the twin tragedies that befall Tehmi Engineer, a reclusive widow. At the heart of the novel is Rusi Bilimoria, a disillusioned businessman who struggles to make sense of his life and hold together his community.
