Poignant, evocative, and unforgettable, "The Space Between Us"
is an intimate portrait of a distant yet familiar world. Set in
modern-day India, it is the story of two compelling and achingly
real women: Sera Dubash, an upper-middle-class Parsi housewife
whose opulent surroundings hide the shame and disappointment of her
abusive marriage, and Bhima, a stoic illiterate hardened by a life
of despair and loss, who has worked in the Dubash household for
more than twenty years. A powerful and perceptive literary
masterwork, author Thrity Umrigar's extraordinary novel
demonstrates how the lives of the rich and poor are intrinsically
connected yet vastly removed from each other, and how the strong
bonds of womanhood are eternally opposed by the divisions of class
and culture.
