Title: A Fine Balance (Vintage International)
Author: Rohinton Mistry
ISBN: 9780679776451
Publisher: Vintage Books
Published: 1997
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Publisher Description:
With a compassionate realism and narrative sweep that recall masters from Balzac to Dickens, this magnificant novel caputures all the cruelty and corruption, dignity and heroism, of India. The time is 1975. The place is an unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a State of Emergency, in whose upheavals four strangers--a spirited widow, a young student uprooted from his idyllic hill station, and two tailors who have fled the cast violence of their native village--will be thrust together, forced to share one cramped apartment and an uncertain future.
