The Space Between Us

A beautiful book about friendship and the social classes. The character development of the two main characters was wonderfully done. The reader can empathize with both of their situations. The author did a beautiful job of looking at a "glass" from two sides.

mesmerizing and impossibly beautiful...

The Space Between Us is a fascinating story but it's also poetry. Ms. Umrigar's sentances hit you with the force of a hurricane and completely envelop you in their astonishing beauty and precision. I kept returning to reread passages the way you gaze back at a brilliant painting just to take it in one more time. To be completely assailed by its rocket blues and screaming reds. To not even notice how the colors fuse and bewitch you, but they do and no one else would ever dream of putting these colors together like this but a madman or a genius. I believe Ms. Umrigar is the latter and what she has created is pure unrecycled art.

The Space Between Us Large Print

The book arrived in good fashion. It is great to get a Large print edition for a reasonable price.

Vivid picture reflects true life

This book is very well plotted. It begins with the shock to Bhima when she learns her grand daughter Maya is pregnant, the whole story develops along this main thread. Then the author skillfully interweaves the stories of the two main characters, Sera and Bhima, revealing the history, events, and reasons why everything has come to this kind of reality, that Sera is a house master, Bhima lives in slum, that Maya has to kill her incoming life while Sera's daughter is celebrating for her baby. The whole story ends with another shock to Bhima, with an even profound impact that only leaves to reader's imagination. But for this shock Sera will be inextricably impacted, again the impact is intentionally left blank. Perhaps those blanks will lead us to the afterthought that we can gain some insight into how generations of life have shaped our character, our behavior, our mind set, our marriage life and the state where we are today.
