Title:: [[A Fine Balance]] Authors:: [[Rohinton Mistry]] Tags:: #fiction #historicalfiction Read:: [[2023-03-30]] ## Editions - Edition:: Vintage International, 1997 - Original Copyright:: 1995 - Pages:: 603 ## Annotations A historical novel set in mid 1970s India during “The Emergency” - period of 21 months when the Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi effectively suspended her country’s burgeoning democracy and civil liberties. I had no idea about any of this. Mistry’s characters and the way he brings their lives together through social unrest is memorable.
