    Such an underrated author. He deserved a Booker for 'A fine Balance', which really is a modern classic, if there is any such thing. He is easily up there with Rushdie and Ghosh as one if the finest writers of Indian origin and Indian themes though his literary career began relatively late.
    "A Fine Balance" is the second best novel i have ever read that comes closest to capturing the pulse of India. The best no doubt is Midnight's Children.

    "A Fine Balance" changed my life. So powerful, after I finished it, I had to hide the book on my shelf because if I saw the spine while walking past it, my bones shuddered, overcome with the feelings and memories of the characters. What a gift Mistry has. His work drips with empathy ❤️👏🏽🕉😍☮️💞
