Book : A Fine Balance by Rohiton Mistry

Had read this one in June 2006 and I can still swear by it. One of the best fiction I have come read.The reason am putting it is also cos am reading another one of Mistry's book.



Just finished reading "A Fine Balance" by Rohiton Mistry. One of the best pieces of fiction I have ever read. The characters are alive,all around you. It is set in time of emergency and the four strangers who are together through the trying times. Entertainment is what it offers as it helps you step in another era and world.. Though the ending is tragic but that doesn't make the endeavour of reading worthless. In fact it makes it all the more worthwhile. The book starts and end dramatically and yet almost real and believable way. High on my recommendation list.

My quote from this one:
"After all, our lives are but a sequence of accidents – a clankingchain of chance events. A string of choices - casual or deliberate – which add up to that one big calamity we call life"
