Summary:  Novel captures all the cruelty and corruption, dignity and heroism, of India. The time is 1975. The place is an unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a State of Emergency, in whose upheavals four strangers--a spirited widow, a young student uprooted from his idyllic hill station, and two tailors who have fled the caste violence of their native village--will be thrust together, forced to share one cramped apartment and an uncertain future. As the characters move from distrust to friendship and from friendship to love, A Fine Balance creates an enduring panorama of the human spirit in an inhuman state. Awards:  Winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, 1996. Winner of the Giller Prize, 1995. Winner of IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, 1995. Genre:  Historical fiction. Canadian fiction.
