This is an excellent book. Although it is fiction it is based on life in India in 1975. When you read this book, you realize own wonderful it is to live in the USA. From the back cover: 'The place ia an unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a Stage of Emergency, in whose upheavals four strangers--a spirited widow, a young student uprooted from his idyllic hill station, and two tailors who have fled the caste violence of their native village--will be thrust together, forced to share one cramped apartment and an uncertain future.' Don't read this book if you are depressed or read this book depressed to realize how lucky you are!
