The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar
dark
medium-paced
3.5
rep: Hindu mc, Hindu characters, Parsi mc, Parsi characters
tw: caste system, rape, domestic violence, physical abuse, verbal abuse, gaslighting, AIDS, death, abortion, misogyny, infidelity, alcoholism
every bad thing that happened, happened because of men, because of their actions & inactions. yes, it’s a discussion on power & status & wealth, but it’s still all told through suffering of women at the hands of men. and it’s such an onslaught of suffering…
rather heavy-handed at times; no space for subtlety & the reader making conclusions for themself. the ending isn’t unexpected in the least, but still feels rushed.
