Rohinton Mistry - A Fine Balance

A piece of work so moving that it will make you shudder. The way Rohinton Mistry describes the characters makes your heart cry. I read this book many years ago and his characters still haunt me to this day. A friend of mine was visiting India for the first time and for once decided to take a reading recommendation from me. She chose to read A Fine Balance on her first trip to India in India. I was getting married and with all the commotion and festivities she was still so drawn to it-she had to finish it! A beautiful piece of work that I never get tired of recommending.
