A Fine Balance – Rohinton Mistry

Description

India, 1975. An unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a State of Emergency. Amidst a backdrop of wild political turmoil, the lives of four unlikely strangers collide forever.

An epic panorama of modern India in all its corruption, violence, and heroism, A Fine Balance is Rohinton Mistry’s prize-winning masterpiece: a Dickensian modern classic brimming with compassion, humor, and insight – and a hymn to the human spirit in an inhuman state.

‘A masterpiece of illumination and grace. Like all great fiction, it transforms our understanding of life.’ Guardian
‘Magical.’ New York Times
