balance

While in the states I finished A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. At first I wasn't sure if it would engage me, but just a few pages in, it became a real page turner. About the lives of four people that come together in a city in India, mostly in the 1970s.

The book focuses on the themes of hope and perseverance as well as how real change takes time, often generations. I know, it sounds like a bummer, but it was the beauty of the way these people lived there lives that inspires.

I highly recommend it whether your looking for a serious message or just a good book that will keep you up because you want to know what happens next.
