A Fine Balance
by Rohinton Mistry - £8.99 Faber and Faber (2006)
paperback
ISBN 13: 9780571230587 | ISBN 10: 057123058x
Set in mid-1970s India, A Fine Balance is a subtle and compelling narrative about four unlikely characters who come together in circumstances no one could have forseen, soon after the government declares a 'State of Internal Emergency'. It is a breathtaking achievement: panoramic yet humane, intensely political yet rich with local detail; and, above all, compulsively readable.
"A masterpiece of illumination and grace. Like all great fiction, it transforms our understanding of life."
(Guardian)
