Industry Reviews
"...[A] complex and rather alien narrative, eventually rewarding and occasionally moving."
Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Clark Blaise

"Mr. Mistry catches the unsettling effects on everyday life of the many upheavals afflicting India in the 1960's and 1970's....Many of the novel's passionate political concerns seem warmed over. It is often unclear what tone Mr. Mistry is reaching for. While he is clearly capable of trenchant, fierce political satire, 'Such a Long Journey' only occasionally reaches the comic heights scaled by the stories in 'Swimming Lessons'....None the less, Rohinton Mistry's is a strong voice, and a welcome one."
