Rohinton Mistry: A Fine Balance, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Beschreibung

In the tiny flat of the widowed Dina Dalal, Ishvar and Omprakash Darji, tailors who have been forced from their village into the city, and Maneck Kohlah, a young student from a hill-station near the Himalayas, are painfully constructing new lives which become entwined in circumstances no one could have foreseen. Set in mid-1970s India, 'A Fine Balance' is a subtle and compelling narrative about these four unlikely characters who come together soon after the government declares a 'State of Internal Emergency'.
'A Fine Balance' is a breathtaking achievement: panoramic yet humane, intensely political yet rich with local detail; and, above all, compulsively readable. It is the work of a master storyteller at the height of his power.
