A Fine Balance
Rohinton Mistry
Set during India's State of Emergency in 1975, four strangers from different backgrounds are forced to share a small apartment amid political upheaval. From distrust to friendship and love, this novel captures the heroism and corruption of India with a narrative sweep akin to Charles Dickens. A Fine Balance is a compassionate depiction of the human spirit in an inhumane state.
