Book Review of A Fine Balance

A Fine Balance
jareylee avatar reviewed on + 25 more book reviews


Author's lyrical writing style, beautiful phrasing creates rich human characters. Lots of characters to get to know, so get a list from Wikipedia or similar and tick each off as he or she is introduced. Then, listen to each tell her / his story. It / they all come together in a cycle of storytelling. No wasted characters, no wasted storylines. A hit with my book discussion group, though some found some of the situations gut-wrenching, disturbing.
