Rohinton Mistry:A Fine Balance Mistry’s novel focuses on the lives of four central characters whose lives are on a downward spiral,from poverty to outright destitution and,ultimately,death. Mistry does not whitewash the reality of urban poverty in India.But as readers,we become absorbed in his characters’ lives we hope with them,we fear for them and,at the end,we cry for them. Elena Ferrante:My Brilliant Friend Elena Ferrante’s novels take us straight to the Italian city of Napoli.Starting with My Brilliant Friend,the four novels chart the intensive relationship between two girls,Elena Greco (Lenù) and Raffaella Cerullo (Lila),who grow up in a poor neighbourhood in the 1950s. Reading Ferrante’s description calls forth images of Napoli and makes us feel like we are standing in the Piazza del Plebiscito.We can feel,hear and smell Napoli around us. Patrick Modiano:The Search Warrant The Search Warrant pieces together the real-life story of Dora Bruder,a young Jewish girl who went missing in Paris in December 1941.Modiano attempts to retrace Dora’s movements across Paris and his book is full of evocative descriptions of quiet squares and streets. By tracing Dora’s possible steps,Modiano evocatively recreates the twilight atmosphere of Paris under occupation. Kazuo Ishiguro:The Remains of the Day The Remains of the Day tells the story of Stevens,the aged butler of Darlington Hall,and his ill-judged life choices that saw him being involved with British fascism in the interwar years. This allusion to British fascism in particular is something that makes this novel stand out;it is a subject matter not often discussed or even taught. 1.Which book is set in India? 　　　　　 　　　　　 　　　　 A.A Fine Balance.
