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.
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.

評分这本关于印度的书,讲诉的是在种姓制度下低种姓人面对高种姓人的欺压而奋起反抗,但最终还是不得善果的凄惨故事,同时穿插的还有袄教妇女从小被兄权欺压,独立求生,但仍处处受制于社会,受制于金钱,最终还是无奈搬回兄长家过着寄人篱下的半奴隶生活。另外还有个少年,本是在...
以Dina、Maneck和兩個裁縫為代錶的主人公來自不同的階層,都曾經執拗的抱著夢想,對生活充滿憧憬,想要通過個人努力實現美好的生活,但在印度社會固有的階級思想和混亂發展過程中,他們雖然看到過希望,但最終夢想被一一擊碎,絕望而無奈的迴到自己的階級宿命。 The fine balance,所謂完美的平衡,就是低頭接受殘酷的現實!
