Title : The Balance of the World - Rohinton Mistry - book

Summary :

This is the great novel of contemporary India, realistic, abundant, inspired – permeated by the breath of a Hugo or a Dickens. The story takes place during the 1970s and 1980s.
In the same neighborhood live characters from very diverse backgrounds: Ishvar and Omprakash, the two tailors – “untouchables” –; Dina, the young widow, who, to survive, starts tailoring at home; Maneck, who came down from his distant mountains to continue his studies; Shankar, the legless man, exploited by the master of beggars. Many others… Through the joys and sorrows of their lives, Rohinton Mistry, an English-speaking novelist born in Bombay, paints a fresco that is both the odyssey of a nation and a parable of the human condition. A sweeping novel that irresistibly carries us away.
