A Fine Balance - The perfect quarantine read.

Image
A Fine Balance is a book which is to be relished and the reader must savor each word throughout the entire book.   Rohinton Mistry has an excellent power over his words and makes it really easy for the reader to stay connected to the characters as he describes each and every setting precisely. The book does not promise you a fairy tale ending, but is absolutely beautiful yet tragic. It’s deeply moving how the four main characters of the book who had absolutely no one for themselves end up being each other’s worlds.   This reading is a heart-breaking one but an extremely important one as well. This book makes us realize how we should be thankful at times like these when the world is fighting a global pandemic   and how many people in the world are still helpless and can’t even provide for their family’s needs .   It is the perfect quarantine read as it changes our views about so many things in life and throws light on what actually matters.
