Synopsis of A Fine Balance

En la India de mediados de la década de 1970, tras la declaración de un "estado de emergencia interna", cuatro personas diversas (una costurera viuda, un estudiante y un hombre y su sobrino que han huido de su pueblo) entrelazan sus vidas de manera inextricable. A pesar de los tiempos de agitación política y caos, esta novela es un retrato hermoso y compasivo de la capacidad de recuperación del espíritu humano ante la muerte, la desesperación y el sufrimiento desmesurado. Ambientada en una ciudad costera sin nombre, cuenta la historia de cuatro extraños marginados que, debido a sus circunstancias de pobreza, se ven obligados a compartir un apartamento estrecho. Inicialmente desconfiados el uno del otro, Dina, Maneck, Ishvar y Om construyen gradualmente lazos familiares amorosos y aprenden juntos "a mantener un delicado equilibrio entre la esperanza y la desesperación" en una sociedad que de repente se vuelve inhumanamente cruel y corrupta.
