A Fine Balance

by Rohinton Mistry
Afterword by: Pico Iyer

McClelland & Stewart | October 25, 2002 | Mass Market Paperbound

Set against the emergency measures imposed by Indira Gandhi in the mid-1970s, A Fine Balance follows the lives of four unlikely people as they struggle "to maintain a fine balance between hope and despair." Originally published in 1995, A Fine Balance is both a warning about the human terrors that await a society without compassion and a testimony to the enduring greatness of the human spirit.

Bringing the reader on an illuminating journey of the caste system and the inherent struggles of those in the lower echelons, Rohinton Mistry captures both the triumph and defeat of the human spirit. From the lives of a struggling widow, a boy coming into manhood and a pair of aspiring tailors- the story captures their joy and their despair in a flowing narrative that compels you to turn the page.
