A Fine Balance. Das Gleichgewicht der Welt, engl. Ausgabe

In the tinyflat of the widowed Dina Dalal, Ishvar and Omprakash Darji, tailors who have been forced from their village into the city, and Maneck Kohlah, a young student from a hill-station near the Himalayas, are painfully constructing new lives which become entwined in circumstances no one could have foreseen. Set in mid-1970s India, 'A Fine Balance' is a subtle and compelling narrative about these four unlikely characters who come together soon after the government declares a 'State of Internal Emergency'.
'A Fine Balance' is a breathtaking achievement: panoramic yet humane, intensely political yet rich with local detail; and, above all, compulsively readable. It is the work of a master storyteller at the height of his power.
