The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar Book Summary

“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.

One of my all time favorites. When I picked this book off the table at B&N little did I know how much it would make me think.

The Space Between Us. I was absorbed by the authors poetic writing and the very real emotions of the characters in the novel. I only spent 3 1/2 days in India on the way in and out of the Kingdom of Bhutan. Most of our time was spent in Delhi but we did go through the countryside when we left Bhutan to fly home out of India. The book brought back memories of how" dog eat dog the people" were like in Delhi I did not enjoy the dirty city and it's humanity which the book brought out. I did however like the Indian people in the countryside outside the big city. They were friendly and inquisitive. Reader, Rick wolf World traveler and historian

Must read!. This is probably one of the best books I have read within the last 10 years. This says a lot because I read often. The book is moving and poignant, her sentences are more like poetry than dialog, this is definitely her gift.

Beautiful. Such a haunting story of love,betrayal,innocence. Beautiful sums it up

A truly phenomenal book. An absolutely amazing read! Umrigar truly captures the essence of gender and caste in India.

Beautifully written and powerful. This is one of my favorite books. It's incredibly written and keeps you hooked throughout the story.

An amazing book.. It grasps you from the first page. Umrigar makes you a part of the social injustices of modern Mumbai. Couldn't put it down. Even after you finish, the characters remain with you. A must read.

Good book. I liked this book; I read on this particular subject matter, so it was really interesting. I enjoyed the story and the writing, and would recommend it to others.

Excellent read.. Having grown up in India in the '60s and '70s, this book brings back a lot of memories. Very well written - a welcome addition to any discerning iBook library.

Wanted to love. Took a lot of time to get to the point. Felt like reading a continuous exert of someone’s life but without much of a plot or a satisfactory ending. I wanted to love the book but just when it would start to draw me in I’d get bored.

Be prepared to cry. So thought provoking.
