"A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry

I read this years ago, and recently re-read because Mike just read it and mentioned it to me! Also, this is Hillary's favorite book, which is why Michael read it in the first place.

It's a long one, but a good story. Follows 4 main characters in Mumbai, India in the late 70's. They all come from wildly different backgrounds, are brought together by economic forces and form a familial bond.

I've never heard of this one, but I'll add it to the list. I didn't know it was Hillary's favourite!

Just finished...loved it. Couldn't believe the ending!!! Very sad. I had no idea these things happened in 1970s India.
