A Fine Balance
by Rohinton Mistry
Set in mid-1970s India, a subtle and compelling narrative about four unlikely characters who come together in circumstances no one could have foreseen soon after the government declares a 'State of Internal Emergency'. It is a breathtaking achievement: panoramic yet humane, intensely political yet rich with local delight.
THE MORNING EXPRESS bloated with passengers slowed to a crawl, then lurched forward suddenly, as though to resume full speed.
