好書推薦 “A Fine Balance' by Rohinton Mistry

This is probably the saddest book I've ever read. 書很長，有600多頁，我是邊讀邊聽，kindle 和 audio book 交錯來，and I finally finished it this morning. Wow just wow. Mistry is an AMAZING writer. The prose is beautiful and moving, and the characters so vividly drawn, but their miseries are unbearable. There's so much injustice, oppression, atrocities depicted in this book; but amidst of all that grief and angst, there are moments of true kindness and joy.

如果你隻能讀一本關於印度的書，我絕對要推薦這一本。 雖然是小說，可是那些細節太真實；雖然是過去式，但那些苦痛延續到今天，而且看不到盡頭。

It's a very emotional read, and I'm wrecked. This book will remain one of my favorite books, ever. Actually, I'd say it's one of the best books ever written. I just don't know if I could ever pick it up and go through hell again.
