具體描述
A Fine Balance, Rohinton Mistry’s stunning internationally acclaimed bestseller, is set in mid-1970s India. It tells the story of four unlikely people whose lives come together during a time of political turmoil soon after the government declares a “State of Internal Emergency.” Through days of bleakness and hope, their circumstances – and their fates – become inextricably linked in ways no one could have foreseen. Mistry’s prose is alive with enduring images and a cast of unforgettable characters. Written with compassion, humour, and insight, A Fine Balance is a vivid, richly textured, and powerful novel written by one of the most gifted writers of our time.
著者簡介
Rohinton Mistry is considered to be one of the foremost authors of Indian heritage writing in English. Residing in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, Mistry belongs to the Parsi Zoroastrian religious minority.
Mistry’s first novel, Such a Long Journey (1991), brought him national and international recognition. Mistry’s subsequent novels have achieved the same level of recognition as his first. His second novel, A Fine Balance (1995), concerns four people from Bombay who struggle with family and work against the backdrop of the political unrest in India during the mid-1970s. The book won Canada’s Giller Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. It was nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was a finalist for the Booker Prize.

評分没有看完，只对看了部分评价。笔触很细腻，政治背景若隐若现，建议看之前对印度当代史要有简单了解。基本上正在告别言情的部分，政治小说的模样初见端倪。 作者笔下的德里绝对不是我们印象中的那个城市，而是我们每人心目中家乡的样子，充满温情。 看完了，花了很长的时间 ...
評分小说是一个民族的秘史，是一个国家隐形、细微的记录。相较之下，不少教科书对一国一地的记载都大而无当，只有枯燥的人名和冰冷的年代数字组成的机械事件，以及地名和物产的简单罗列；而那些花花绿绿的旅游书，很多则极尽个人抒情和拼命美化之能事，浮光掠影地走马观花，与真实...
