The Space Between Us

Thrity Umrigar, 2006

The author describes daily life in two very different households in modern-day Bombay, where the traditions that separate the classes and the sexes still persist. While money and class keep an upper class Parsi housewife and her servant from fully bridging the gap between them, they remain closer than either of them can fully see. As women, they suffer equally the abuse of men, the loss of love, and the joys and sorrows of motherhood.
