The Space Between Us

By: Umrigar, Thrity

Set in Bombay, Untitled is a snapshot of modern India that shows how the lives of rich and poor are intrinsically connected yet vastly removed from each other--captured in the lives of two achingly real women bound by friendship and heartache, yet separated by blood and caste.Sera Dubash is a spoiled, upper-middle-class Parsi housewife whose opulent surroundings hide years of disappointment and shame. A widow, she spends much of her time and energy fretting over her pregnant daughter, Dinaz, a kindhearted, educated professional, and her charming and successful son-in-law, Viraf. Bhima, a stoic illiterate hardened by a life of despair and loss, has worked as a domestic in the Dubash household for more than 20 years, cleaning furniture she is forbidden to sit on, washing glasses from which she is not allowed to drink. Cursed by birth and fate, she sacrifices all for her beautiful, headstrong granddaughter, Maya, a university student whose education will enable them to escape the slums. Yet the ties that have united Sera and Bhima--the pain, loneliness, love, and hope--will be tested when a secret involving their families comes to light. Poignant and compelling, evocative and unforgettable, Untitled is a searing intimate portrait of a distant yet achingly familiar world.
