About this product

Product Information

"This is a story intimately and compassionately told against the sensuous background of everyday life in Bombay."-- Washington Post Book World "Bracingly honest." --New York Times Book Review The author of Bombay Time , If Today Be Sweet , and The Weight of Heaven , Thrity Umrigar is as adept and compelling in The Space Between Us --vividly capturing the social struggles of modern India in a luminous, addictively readable novel of honor, tradition, class, gender, and family. A portrayal of two women discovering an emotional rapport as they struggle against the confines of a rigid caste system, Umrigar's captivating second novel echoes the timeless intensity of Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God , Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn , and Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible --a quintessential triumph of modern literary fiction.

    The Space Between Us

    My book club elected to read this book. Thrity Umrigar gave so much valuable information about the Caste System, but I wanted to learn more about the Parsi Religion and/or economic status, and why so few Parsi lived in this area. I had great empathy for Bhima and Sera who were emotionally bonded, yet separated by education levels, religion, economic status, cultural taboos, and spousal abuse. The author created a mystery which motivated me to want to find out what would happen. Thirty's descriptions are beautifully depicted using wonderful metaphors and similes. I think the movie "Slum Dog Millionaire" helped me to visualize the poverty of the slums in India as I read this novel. I also like making comparisons between authors. Kathryn Stockett's "The Help" is an American parallel ...

    The Space Between Us

    This book is a moving story about a desperately poor woman working for many years as a maid for a wealthy family in Bombay. The story gives the reader insight into the class system, as well as giving a vivid picture of life in modern Bombay. It is a page turner, not to be missed. I read it weeks ago and am still thinking about the charachters.

    India Culture

    Dysfunctional families and friends indicative of India culture. The plight of woman and their subservient treatment. Great writing style and character development.
