This amazing story portrays all the brutality and corruption, as well as the dignity and courage, of India with a sympathetic realism and narrative sweep reminiscent of Charles Dickens' writing.
Now, it's 1975. The location is a nameless seaside city. Four strangers—a vivacious 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 forced to share one small apartment and an uncertain future due to the government's recent declaration of a State of Emergency.
A Fine Balance offers a compelling portrait of the human spirit in an inhumane society as the protagonists transition from mistrust to friendship and from friendship to love.
