A Fine Balance
by Rohinton
Mistry. From the Toronto-based Rohinton
Mistry comes A
Fine Balance, a splendid tale of contemporary India
that, in chronicling the sufferings of outcasts and innocents
trying to survive in the "State of Internal Emergency" of the
1970s, grapples with the great question of how to live in the
face of death and despair. The book is a sweeping story, in a thoroughly Indian
setting, that combines Dickens's vivid sympathy for the poor
with Solzhenitsyn's controlled outrage, celebrating both the
resilience of the human spirit and the searing heartbreak of
failed dreams. --From Kirkus Reviews
