A Fine Balance

A very interesting book, which describes the life of people in India in the times of Indira Gandhi ruling. it describes the life story of several characters from different backgrounds, whose destinies intertwined in The Emergency period. it is also a very psychological tale, as it shows how different people cope with difficulties, and in some cases tragic events, in their life in different ways. Rohinton Mistry reveals a variety of topics, such as religion, politics, destiny, faith, love, friendship, compassion... it was a pleasure to read this novel, i found it very touching, fascinating, the one that leaves a sign in you, and that gives you a food for thought...

i loved the ending of this book, it reminded me that many times we interpret people's behavior and feelings in a wrong way, we think that in this situation they feel what we would feel if we were in this situation, instead it is not so, not at all... sometimes we feel compassion for people who maybe are happier than we are...
