Jace and Andrea. Andrea and Jace. From the moment of their fate-filled first meeting in Central Park they’ve known one true thing—they’re meant to be. I charge down the path lined with tall shade trees and leap over the wire mesh fencing separating the grass from the path. When I land, my leg screams in pain, the old injury flaring, and I grab my thigh, dig my fingers into the pain and keep running.

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. Over time, their lives become enmeshed in an unlikely friendship in spite of the ritualized “space” that can never be bridged…class divisions that that holds each woman in their destined positions. The shame of Maya’s pregnancy is mirrored by Sera’s pride in Dinaz’s. Maya has an abortion, with the help of Sera, who had already rewarded Bhima’s care of and loyalty to her and her children by paying for Maya’s education.

Obwohl Sera Bhima erheblich besser behandelt als man in ihrer sozialen Schicht üblicherweise mit Hausangestellten umgeht und sie sich der Ungerechtigkeit gegenüber dem Personal durchaus bewusst ist, schafft sie es nicht, ihre Vorurteile und ihre anerzogene Arroganz zu überwinden. The servant is of servant class, though not an Untouchable . Bhima is illiterate . She lives in a slum with no plumbing and a long line to get water each day for cooking and washing. Bhima's living quarters remind me of the dwellings of homeless people or street people. But Bhima goes to work every day and pays rent. Even when shes in difficult situations, or doing things she doesnt want to, or agree with, or makes questionable decisions... her soul somehow remains untainted. The Space Between Us (2017)".

A grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries].” —CNN, on The Fiery Cross What we get is a love story between two unlikely girls; one being the most popular and the other being the unpopular pariah...and, it's a very specific love story. One in which the two people go into it not yet understanding they are gay and are intrigued by each other for who they are...and that slow, super slow unraveling of day by day excitement and jitters and growing affection and discovery on both of their parts that makes them lead with their feelings not able to say what they are (i.e. "a couple") or what it means. Everything’s great for Harper Isabelle, the most popular girl in grade nine. That is, until she meets Sarah Jamieson. How to write a story set in India to please the colonial masters and give the illusion of being an intellectual and a realist?Meh. 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. Multi-billionaire Nathaniel Shepard, CEO of Genesis, launches the first mission to colonize Mars. During the journey, astronaut Sarah Elliot discovers she is pregnant. She gives birth to Gardner after landing on Mars, and dies shortly afterwards from eclampsia; the father is unknown.

The Space Between isn’t just for 20-somethings, and like the podcast, has universal concepts that go beyond age, gender or class West Australian In Kapiteln mit zwischen Sera und Bhima wechselnden Perspektiven beschreibt die Autorin das Leben dieser beiden Frauen ab dem Zeitpunkt ihrer jeweiligen Eheschließung bis zur Jetztzeit. She would notice how people’s faces turned slightly upward when they stared at the sea, as if they were straining to see a trace of God or were hearing the silent humming of the universe; she would notice how, at the beach, people’s faces became soft and wistful, reminding her of the expressions on the faces of the sweet old dogs that roamed the streets of Bombay. As if they were all sniffing the salty air for transcendence, for something that would allow them to escape the familiar prisons of their own skin.”

What to know

Sera values Bhima because she is a good maid, cook, nanny, nurse and confidant. Bhima values Sera because she pays her and has, in the past come to her aide, by providing financial support during crises. Yet when Sera asks Bhima to share tea, Bhima must sit on her haunches, not on a chair. Johnson bursts onto the scene with this thought-provoking, high-concept sci-fi debut that impresses with exceptional worldbuilding and a distinctive protagonist.” —Publishers Weekly Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s just one catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive.

I let my hand hang there and all she has to do is take it. My heart thuds a heavy, desperate beat as she looks into my eyes, a bright, shining love there. Around us, her family is shifting, her brother laughing, her dad murmuring angrily, the groom’s family confused and stunned. And him, he’s still holding her hands, a somber expression on his face. But I don’t see them, I don’t hear them, I only see Andi. I round the path. Down below, cascading down the forest toward the lake, there’s a rustic wooden gazebo, hewn from roughly cut logs, perched like a fairy tale on the edge of the shimmering lake. And standing underneath the sloped wooden roof, surrounded by a carpet of red rose petals, is Andi.Amazingly enough, despite knowing exactly where the story is gonna head, I spent most of my time reading the book continuously day and night; I basically finished it in one go. I definitely recommend this to young readers. The most beautiful quote is at the end of this book and it literally brought me to tears. I hope every one takes the chance to read this book. I know that I will probably have to go out and find a copy right after I finish this review because when a book goes from a possible DNF to a 4 star rating, it deserves a place on my shelf.
