A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry

This book is not for every reader but I loved it. The author does an excellent job of immersing the reader in the Indian culture and political environment of the 70’s but without being heavy handed with the commentary. I learned so much without feeling like I was being taught. There are lots of trigger warning to be aware of if that’s an issue for you but if you can handle it, this book is worth the read. I loved and hated the characters in equal measure and found myself really rooting for most of them. This is a sad book so if you need happy and light, this is not the book for you.
