Book Reviews of A Fine Balance (Modern Plays)
Book Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
From its first page to its last, AFB is a marvel. RH paints a world in meticulous and breath-taking detail. Even at 600 pages, not one sentence of this novel is superfluous. AFB reads quickly and absorbingly. But it is no easy read: the stuff of this novel is the stuff of tragedies, great and small, and often unimaginable. I have no doubt of the realism, the 'authenticity', of the story RH tells. If I emerged scathed and scarred from reading it, I also emerged the wiser. No novel has so deeply immersed me in another culture and in other lives as this one did. I cannot begin to do it justice in a brief review.
