A Fine Balance

Om boken

India, 1975. An unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a State of Emergency. Amidst a backdrop of wild political turmoil, the lives of four unlikely strangers collide forever. An epic panorama of modern India in all its corruption, violence, and heroism, A Fine Balance is Rohinton Mistry's prize-winning masterpiece: a Dickensian modern classic brimming with compassion, humour, and insight—and a hymn to the human spirit in an inhuman state. 'A towering masterpiece by a writer of genius.' — Independent 'A masterpiece of illumination and grace. Like all great fiction, it transforms our understanding of life.' — Guardian 'Magical.' — New York Times 'Monumental.' — Time 'Astonishing.' — Wall Street Journal
