A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
4.25
emotional funny hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A fictional retelling of a very real period of Indian not-so-distant history. Life in all its injustices and struggles. A story of how people can tear each other down, but also build each other back up.
Complex, full characters with whose joy and pain you can't help but share.
