Space Between Us - Navigationsmenü
Peter Chelsom. The willingness to open up to one another, to encounter others more authentically and openly, to feel one another more deeply and to be aware of each other on a more conscious level is an essential key to this valuable space between us.
But it is also about a grandmother fighting to make a life for her granddaughter. And that's tough to say the least, living in the slums of Bombay and facing grim reality and poverty every day.
She's a fighter. Impressive, but to be honest I A book that makes a deep impression Impressive, but to be honest I'm glad I finished this.
Hard to read. But: This book is really well written and is food for thought. I would like to read more of this author, but need to take a break first A very sad story but in the end it does have a shimmer of hope View all 16 comments.
Jun 10, Carol rated it it was amazing Shelves: owned-book , favorites. What a fitting title for this book! The story is a shattering account of the soul crushing poverty of an Indian servant juxtaposed alongside her employer, an upper-middle-class Parsi housewife.
Bhima lives in a slum; but for over 20 years she has worked in the household of Sera Dubash. Even though the two women formed a kind of bond over the years, Sera drinks tea in a chair at a table, but she expects Bhima to crouch on the floor to drink her own tea.
Sera is disgusted by Bhima's physical attributes and she is forbidden to use the family dishes or sit at the table.
So despite the similarities between the two women, they couldn't be farther apart because of class. Umrigar weaves together the narrative with colloquial expressions that authenticate the dialogue and create a unique sense of place.
Thrity Umrigar wrote a touching afterword in my book. She included personal reflections of her own middle-class childhood and their servant…treated in much the same way as Bhima was in this novel.
I highly recommend reading this beautifully written, devastating story. View all 50 comments. This is a beautifully written story telling the side by side yet intertwined stories of two women from different classes in Bombay , India.
It's sad , really heartbreaking at times as we come to know the stories of Sera , a wealthy woman, and her loyal servant , Bhimi , whose life in the slums is a stark contrast.
In spite of the class difference and the deeply rooted societal space between them , these women are bonded somehow as they share their personal heartaches.
Yet , the space remains. Umigar's writing not only takes you into the hearts and souls of these women , she takes you to the place where they live.
You can vividly see the marketplace where Bhimi shops and the horrid conditions of the slum where she lives. This book is extremely moving and so well written and I wish I could say something more but I'll leave it at that I highly recommend this book and will certainly be reading Umigar's other books.
Apr 19, Agnes rated it it was ok. This is the kind of novel I used to like - exploring gender and class issues in a foreign setting - but I found it unsatisfying.
The author describes the crushing powerlessness of illiteracy and poverty well, but the rest of the book I found overly dramatic. However, the flashbacks employed by the Meh.
However, the flashbacks employed by the author were sophomoric and the very fact that this gap is not bridged is not explored nearly fully enough.
Instead, she ends with a terribly trite "epiphany" by the sea on the part of one of the characters. The novel gives a flavor of the class differences in Bombay, but not much more.

I could not put this book down from the moment I began to read. The characters are beautifully drawn out, and the writing superb. It's one of those books where the story just stays with you.
Life in Bombay with it's sharp lines between poverty and wealth. The significance of the educated over the uneducated. The trials and hardships of women dominated by men.
The main character of this book has been a servant to a higher class and well educated family for so many years the ties become as strong I could not put this book down from the moment I began to read.
The main character of this book has been a servant to a higher class and well educated family for so many years the ties become as strong as family.
Yet with their class discrepancies do they really know one another? When one is betrayed are blood ties more meaningful than family ties?
This book tackles so many deep questions while also being a simple story of daily life. View all 11 comments. Dec 04, Elyse Walters rated it it was amazing.

Nearly ten years have passed since this The Space Between Us was first published and it continues to be printed and carried on library shelves.
With nearly 30, reviews on Goodreads, my contribution will be a tiny drop in an ocean of years of thoughts, but as the novel is actively in current circulation I'm happy to add a few "bon mots" to the pile.

The caste system in modern India continues to be represented significantly in literature, as the improvements in the economy have not been able to bridge the rigidly divisive, prejudicial and entrenched cultural beliefs.
The relationship between servant and household mistress are examined here, an oddly out of sync friendship where the wealthy Sera is emotionally dependant on the servile Bhima, but holds all of the power.
Bhima and Sera both spend a great deal of time with the memories of their lifetimes of discord and sorrow, each suffered in distinctly different ways.
Bhima's granddaughter is in crisis; Sera's daughter is pregnant and with her husband, living with her mother.
These two situations converge tragically, and resolve with the same quiet tenacity that each woman has accepted as part of life.
The writing is measured, thoughtful and without bias. It brought to mind frequently "A Fine Balance", with a smaller cast of characters and scope but no less affecting.
I finished the novel with the realization that even though Western society's social welfare system is not ideal, it spares a large group of people from becoming reduced to the level of poverty in Third World countries.
It supports the philosophy of individual achievement, does not force servility to the moderately wealthy as cheaply paid servants nor in factories at slave labour wages and conditions and uplifts the quality of wages and life for a large segment of the workforce.
The great disparity between castes will continue to perpetuate the tragic story of The Space Between Us, unless there is a major social change.

Spoiler Alert: I would have given it more points, but I felt like the author trotted out every stereotypical horror that could befall her female characters.
Spousal abuse? Domineering Indian mother-in-law? Wife getting AIDS because her husband brought it home from a prostitute?
Wife bei This is a well-written but not-so-subtle exploration of how class, gender power, and generational differences isolate the two female protagonists in India.
Wife being abandoned by her alcoholic husband? Sexual coercion and abandonment of a virgin teen? By the end of the novel I no longer felt that string of scenarios made a realistic story, but that they were being included to excessively manipulate my heartstrings.
Perhaps I'm just getting tired of the trend for modern tragedy lit. Dec 22, Lee rated it it was amazing Shelves: favourites , , india. This is a gorgeous story about friendship, family relationships and the artificial barriers created between the classes in India.
From the first page, I was sucked into the life of Bhima, a hardworking servant to an upper middle class, Parsi housewife named Sera. Bombay is powerfully present as the book opens with Bhima awakening to the sounds and smells of the slum around her.
I felt I was right inside her head and eavesdropping on the constantly fluctuating emotions of these two women was wond This is a gorgeous story about friendship, family relationships and the artificial barriers created between the classes in India.
I felt I was right inside her head and eavesdropping on the constantly fluctuating emotions of these two women was wonderfully raw.
Moving from compassion to resentment and love to hate in a flash, the author effortlessly weaves together the painful family histories as well as the current day story of these two women.
This book deals with a number of issues beautifully. How prejudices keep us apart. How we create stories about others who appear different in order to give ourselves a false sense of superiority.
What happens to the human spirit when life beats you down? How do people have courage in the face of so much suffering? I really loved this book.

Throughout The Space Between Us, there are details presumably unfamiliar to the reader not conversant with the colloquial language of Bombay; the rhyming, the slang; yet, it hardly matters, as the thrust and emotional meaning of each line are apparent, even if not immediately so, and Thrity's ability to communicate the emotional essence of thoughts and conversations rarely leaves doubt about what is happening.
The book delves deeply into the sufferings of women, of any caste, at the hands of men. And the men who are not "evil," are merely ineffectual, even their kindest gestures too little to salve the wounds that other men have created.
And yet there are throughout The Space Between moments of intense passion and sensuality between the men and woman portrayed within.
Strong feeling that keeps rising up, memory at once healing, wounding, reminding. We come to see the loyalties between people of different classes.
How individuals can be convinced that they have conquered the unavoidable distances that money and station can create, and how the removal of that illusion can be an unforgiving destroyer.
And how the instinct for self-preservation may be strong, but without the means to preserve oneself, all the intent in the world can mean nothing.
Even when detailing the worst circumstances, the beauty and the power of the prose drives the reader onward. This is writing with movement, small, and broad, of astonishing economy and painful, precise splendor.

Nov 14, Britany rated it really liked it Shelves: bookriot. This story Bombay, India-- Bhima is living in the slums, raising her granddaughter- seemingly all alone.
You can tell by her actions, movements, and words that she's lived a difficult life- just how tough we learn throughout the book.
Bhima works as a servant for Sera Dubash- a wealthy Indian woman, who also has lived a tough life bound with secret pain. The book is mostly set in present day wit This story The book is mostly set in present day with flashbacks for us to relieve the painful events of the past.
The characters are sharply drawn, some of them grow, some of them don't. I knew where this book was going before we got there, but was not expecting the evilness of the ending.
How quickly someone privileged can throw another soul to the ground based on allegations that are unfounded. My heart broke for Bhima by the end and I was frustrated with the way the author left it-- Bhima made me realize hope can be found even in the direst situations.
I found this book for a challenge looking for an author from Southeast Asia, and I'm so glad I read this one. View all 5 comments.
What a great way to start the new year with a 5 star read. The people and the streets of Mumbai come alive in this delightful and at times heartbreaking story.
We follow the lives of poor, illiterate Bhima who lives in the slums of the city and the rich Dubash family she works for.
A What a great way to start the new year with a 5 star read. A firm friendship has developed over the years between Bhima and Sera, the matriarch of the Dubash household, but there is always that cultural, religious and socioeconomic divide that separates them and prevents them from becoming truly close and best friends.
Bhima has looked after her granddaughter Maya since she was a small child but now, at 17 years old, Maya has become pregnant and refuses to disclose the identity of the father.
Sera and her wealthy family are educated and have connections and will surely know the best course of action. Aug 18, Elena May rated it it was amazing Shelves: six-stars.
Goodreads is broken! If one could capture all of them, they could water the parched, drought-stricken fields in Gopal's village and beyond.
Then perhaps these tears would have value and all this grief wou HELP!!! Then perhaps these tears would have value and all this grief would have some meaning.
And then, out of all this pain, your soul flows out cleansed and unburdened, lighter than it had ever been. Real, vivid, relatable characters, their pain raw and true, their struggles and relationships rendered in mindblowing complexity.
When I worked in London, I had an Indian manager, an incredibly intelligent, educated woman. Do the servants have servants?
Somehow, to the wealthy, the servants become invisible. But not in this book! In this book, we see those who have servants, and those who are servants.
We see their relationships, and, as the book title says, the space between them. In the end, it all comes down to this narrow but unbreachable space.
Sera and Bhima, the mistress and the servant, are as close as any two people could be. And yet, there is this invisible, yet painfully tangible, space between them that neither can cross.
And acknowledging this space is the only way to freedom. The only problem I have with this book is that it ends. I could read about these characters until the end of the world.
