Ilustration During Books A Fine Balance (Cánh Cửa Mở Rộng)

With a compassionate realism and narrative sweep that recall the work of Charles Dickens, this magnificent novel captures 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 caste violence of their native village--will be thrust together, forced to share one cramped apartment and an uncertain future.

As the characters move from distrust to friendship and from friendship to love, A Fine Balance creates an enduring panorama of the human spirit in an inhuman state.

Weigh Up About Books A Fine Balance (Cánh Cửa Mở Rộng)

Let me tell you a secret: there is no such thing as an uninteresting life. Interesting doesnt even begin to describe the eventful and painful year in the lives of four Mumbai residents, at the times of the Emergency a period of civil unrest and government crackdown declared by the Prime Minister of India in 1975 as a final straw in her efforts to keep her political power in the face of vigorous opposition. While the politicians are playing their high stakes games, it is the simple people who

Because it wasn't an unputdownable, hold-you-in-its-thrall page-turner, this novel took me weeks to finish.My only real issue was that I loved the writing WAY more than the actual story.And whats not to like about Mistry's beautifully-crafted prose? I drooled over his penmanship and revelled in his wordplay. Like Rushdie and Shakespeare, he intermingles pathos with humour.The story, though, didnt grab me by the ears and snog me.Which is why it drops one star.

Liking this book makes no sense. Not only are its characters subjected to like, the bleakest set of circumstances ever, but then those circumstances are presented to the reader with such an alarming degree of authorial detachment that you almost have to wonder whether Mistry himselffed up with the unending series of hardships his characters are required to enduredidnt just raise his arms in the air and say, Oh, fuck it. And yet I could not tear myself away from this train wreck.A Fine Balance

As I scramble for words to speak of this book and even manage to get hold of some. I wait till they fall from my tongue into the depths of infinite hopelessness. And someday, I hope these words will find me again. These words, these thoughts will help me accept the despair that is this thing called life.

A book, along with two others which mysteriously appeared on my living room couch. My wife, equally at a loss had no idea where they came from. No one had been to the house previously, certainly not the dear family friend who just finished A Fine Balance and asked if I would read it. Reluctantly taking a break from Walser and The Tanners, I began my 600 page responsibility to a person who has always been there for us. The book's first four pages were partially folded from use, not to signify any

5 stars(completely forgot to review this; too busy trying to un-depress myself).If you were following along with some of my updates for Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance, you might've detected a bit of my cynicism poking through toward the end of this 600 page behmoth novel of India's woes. I was starting to reach a breaking point: how much calcuated heartache could Misery (*ahem*) Mistry throw at the reader and not expect an emotional backlash? Yeah (Lobstergirl), this is probably one of the

OMGOSH! Definitely a five star read for me, but all of my emotions are shot to hell. Did a world like this really exist in 1970's India? Heaven forbid!Rohinton Mistry introduces his four main characters and their individual stories one by one until they merge together sharing a cramped apartment in a world of starvation, suffering and despair.With civil unrest and demonstrations against a corrupt government on the rise, our protagonists needlessly endure despicable injustices to both body and
