The Space Between Us
(Thrity Umrigar)
The book is published by Harper Collins and asked about the possibility to read in five senses. To turn into the pages which smell of fish and salty spray of seawater? Is it possible that with every page you turn, an almost disconcerting deja vu envelops you? Thrity, an American Parsi, she writes with the aplomb of the most detached observer of the Bombay life. It is and always will be Bombay, the name will Mumbai, is never used. The protagonist is a maidservant, a withered old woman reflecting sorrow in her every move and details with her trials and tribulations with an upper class Parsi family. The writer strips this so called munificent and complex community of their shame, prejudices and the hyprocrisies.
