In this beautifully crafted novel about the interlinked lives of
two women, Thrity Umrigar explores the complex relationships
between the classes in India, rarely addressed in contemporary
fiction. 'Bhima is real. She worked in the house I grew up in, year
after year, a shadow flitting around our middle-class home, her
thin brown hands cleaning furniture she was not allowed to sit on,
cooking food she was not allowed to share at the family dining
table, dusting the stereo that mainly played American rock and
roll, music that was alien and unfamiliar to her, that only
reminded her of her nebulous presence in our home, our world, our
lives.' Thrity Umrigar Set in contemporary Bombay, 'The Space
Between Us' tells the story of Sera Dubash, an upper-middle-class
Parsi housewife and Bhima, the woman who works as a domestic
servant in her home. Despite their class differences, the two women
are bound by the bonds of gender and shared life experiences - both
had marriages that started out with great romantic love and
promise, but ended up as crushing disappointments. Ultimately, Sera
Dubash faces a decision that will force her to choose between
loyalty to gender and friendship or loyalty to her social position
and class.
