Well, it For months I I put A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry in image side but it did not seem to move you ... it is also the months that I've finished. Come on, exit Fine, I'll stick to reality. But A Fine Balance then, was it good? First it was a strange reading experience. Like every author, it was his world and especially its vocabulary - because in addition I have read in English, and I struggled a lot on the caste names or parts of clothing .... But the language is very beautiful, the pace and the story very breath taking - it is good because it's a big book.
So it is a story of upward mobility blocked in India for the years 1970-1980 - it's outdated by the time one side because of it quite AGRÉ able. It was a family of untouchables who has the audacity to challenge conventional caste, to their two tailors son through the providential help of a tailor who cares so Muslim castes. And for a while, even if the proponents of the order to attack them, they succeed quite well their escape. They are gandhiistes, politicized, they get married, build a house .... But the tradition is catching up with family massacred and the uncle and nephew fled the city. Competition from textile factories are forced to go to Bombay where they work for a woman who tries at all costs to maintain its autonomy by mounting a sweatshop in her home. Her husband was the son of a prominent provincial whose family business has gone downhill. At one point all these actors to meet, they form a kind of blended families and they all believe in a bright future.
And frankly, the book could stop here, but the author wanted to be realistic and it has done its best to destroy everything that each character had done so and read 100 pages of disqualifications parallel, crimes, injustices, eviction and mutilations which are probably realistic but I think I was fairly traumatized ! That is
said ....
Right now I'm Michael Connelly Fashion Addict and it will read my next post!
