November 2001 | 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 | | More from Rohinton Mistry | September 2001 | | The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen | | More from Jonathan Franzen | Latest Oprah Book-Club Selection | | August 2001 |  Cane River by Lalita Tademy, Tademy quit her big job at a Fortune 500 company to research her slave-family ancestry and produce the landmark, fact-inspired novel Cane River, an engrossing saga stretching back five generations.
