A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry

5.0

A tale of despair,despondency and feeling lost. And this is a book which you don't want to read. It devastates you to the core. The book is so powerful, you just wish you didn't come across it. Such is the impact it leaves you.
3/4th way through the book where you feel everything is going to end well, it then hits you so hard on your face that it may take you days to recover from the effect that it leaves you. It made me cringe reading the final chapters of this book. It really made me cringe.
For me this book is a masterpiece and easily one of the best books to come out of India as far as English writing is considered. Make no mistake in giving it a miss but the irony is you just wish you haven't read it after all.
