A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry

Did not finish book.

3.0

This book is good... but it’s too damn long and it has too much filler. I also worry how accessible it is for those who are not Indian/south Asian. There is much jargon with no explanation which I find to be the best way to world build - except this book was really bad at setting scenes. But back to the filler - there have now been 3 consecutive pages where the author has managed to talk about a document binder... yes it  really is that ridiculous. So much filler. Just write the story! So it’s going to go back on my bookshelf and maybe back into my life when I know I’ve got time to waste. Having said all of this - it’s not a bad book by any means - just the slowest paced book in the world.
