It was one of the only two Canadian books selected for Oprah's Book Club, and was one of the selected books in the 2002 edition of Canada Reads, championed by actress Megan Follows. In 2014, A Fine Balance was ranked in The Telegraph as one of the 10 all-time greatest Asian novels. Emma-Lee Potter of The Independent listed it as the book with the strongest prose and character development out of 12 Indian novels "that everyone needs to read."

  • L'Équilibre du monde est un roman de Rohinton Mistry paru en 1995, qui prend place en 1975 à Bombay et met en scène quatre personnages, venus d’horizons très divers, qui cohabitent dans un même appartement : * Dina Dalal, veuve d'une quarantaine d'années et locataire de l’appartement qui pour survivre se lance dans la confection à domicile ; * Deux tailleurs, Ishvar Darji et son neveu Omprakash ; * Un étudiant (en techniques de la réfrigération), Maneck Kohlah. L’histoire se déroule alors que l’état d'urgence fait rage avec le massacre des opposants politiques et met en évidence le système des castes, la souffrance, l’absurdité, mais aussi la beauté d’un pays.
