Mistry’s first novel, Such a Long Journey (1991), brought him national and international recognition. Mistry’s subsequent novels have achieved the same level of recognition as his first. His second novel, A Fine Balance (1995), concerns four people from Bombay who struggle with family and work against the backdrop of the political unrest in India during the mid-1970s. The book won Canada’s Giller Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. It was nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and was a finalist for the Booker Prize.

印度,当你读到绝望时你在读些什么
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

In Life, Suffering is inevitable. Someone who has born in that place, Craving for a better life is not a wish, is a crime.

很久没遇到这么好看的小说了!读白人书写的贫穷总感觉隔了一层套子,只有同样来自第三世界的贫穷才能让我有深深的共鸣;印度和中国真的太像了

GR 4.31 (10,000+) 此书是印度主题小说中综合评价及阅读人数皆数一数二的畅销作品,写作背景为上世纪四十年代至八十年代的印度,涉及一系列重大社会政治事件及各种阶层背景的人物,算是一个了解当代印度社会的万花筒。不过,这是一部血淋淋的悲剧, Make sure you have the stomach for it ~~~
