Description: In a tiny flat in Bombay, Imelda Mendes - Em to her children - holds her family in thrall with her flamboyance, her manic affection and her cruel candour. Her husband, 'The Big Hoom', and her two children must bear her 'microweathers', her swings from laugh-out-loud joy to dark malevolence, and her frequent wish to die.
