A Fine Balance

I’ve just finished reading a book that I think is fantastic and so would love to recommend. It’s called A Fine Balance

by Rohinton Mistry. I found it quite daunting initially, but quickly found myself entirely engrossed and unable to put it down.

The book weaves the story of 4 individuals from the indian caste system during the 70′s.  I felt that I was  given insight into the political and social situation affecting the characters as well as the minutae of their daily life.

I’t's an incredibly sad narrative, but I also found it moving and uplifting  that people who live in such appalling conditions can still find happiness and joy in their circumstances and surroundings.

If you read it or have read it please let me know what you thought.
