Professional Reviews
	Economist: "A FINE BALANCE moves from villages to cities, and returns the reader, a little wiser and a good deal sadder, to the villages again at the end....The style is detached, humorous, and symbolic. But it is hard to take comfort in Mr Mistry's magnificent novel, despite its generosity: it is too true."

	Format: Paperback Publisher: McClelland & Stewart Ltd (October 01, 2002) ISBN: 9780771034800
First Line
Publisher's Note	The morning express bloated with passengers slowed to a crawl, then lurched forward suddenly, as though to resume full speed. The train's brief deception jolted its riders. The bulge of humans hanging out of the doorway distended perilously, like a soap bubble at its limit.
More Information
In India during the mid-1970s, after a "state of internal emergency" is declared, four very different people--a widowed seamstress, a student, and a man and his nephew who have fled their village's caste violence--find their lives becoming inextricably intertwined.
