A fine balance
It was a good read. It's a story which takes place during emergency times in India and how it affected the life of four people brought together by date. Dina dayal, Manek, Om and Ishwar.
It's a roller coaster ride and over 40 percent of the books is just to flesh out these characters. The book is engaging and might be to more someone who is not familiar with the caste, religious differences. I read this book after one of my Norwegian friend's recommendation. The book is a roller coaster ride when the moment you think that the character you are reading is finally turning a new leaf a
N unfortunate tragedy Attucks and is far more wretched than you would imagine.
Spoiler warning:
Dina is a beautiful women whose husband died after 3 years of marriage on one fine day when her brother was visiting her. Her brother is a kind of characters who is over controlling, inconsiderate and sometime nauseating as when he treats her when she gets her haircut.
Ishwar story begins with the story of his father. The graphic portrayal of village caste politics is stomach churning. His father's quest to give him and his brother a better life by sending him to his Muslim friend as apprentice. How the two brother work hard in their circle of influence to win the soft corner of his wife and their proactive step of changing the sign of the shop just in time to help them escape the marauding rioters during communal violence. After his brother and his whole family is massacred because his brother decides to vote in the election and demand his rights from the upper cast infuriating them
