And that's tough to say the least, living in the slums of Bombay and facing grim reality and poverty every day. Although they are from opposite worlds, it is clear that the two women need each other, but their interaction is not quite healthy. While the majority of reviewers enjoyed Umrigar's simple, descriptive prose, a few questioned whether she depended on clichés and exaggeration. From the moment of their fate-filled first meeting in Central Park they’ve known one true thing—they’re meant to be.

The Space Between Worlds]gripped me from page one and I couldn’t stop reading until I reached the final page. Brimming with wit and unflinching honesty, these are their stories and personal puzzles about life as twentysomethings: from heartbreak and mental health challenges to overcoming career setbacks and letting go of fear. Parvati’s past is a very large secret, or collection of secrets, whereas Bhima’s is a smaller sample, albeit painful.

She was not allowed to use the same glassware and dishes when she ate at Serabai's house, nor could she sit on any chair or couch. Parvati has a particularly dark perspective on relations between men and women, in both the old society and the new. Bhima was there to witness Serabai's bruises after the many beatings she suffered at the hand of her husband Feroz. Now sixty-five years old, illiterate Bhima lives in the slums of Mumbai with her pregnant, unwed granddaughter, the seventeen-year-old Maya, whose college tuition is paid for by Sera. 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.

Sera married into a family in which her mother-in-law was a maniac, constantly criticizing her when she lived with her husband’s family. Her appearance, harsh demeanor, and razor sharp tongue have given her a reputation as someone to be avoided. Born in Mumbai, India, Umrigar lived there for almost twenty-one years as an only child in a middle-class extended family of aunts and uncles in addition to her parents. The movie is clearly designed to pack an emotional punch for idiot saps, but even the lowest common denominator will find the lovey dovey cheese cloying and trite. You are in for a satisfying read with The Secrets Between Us, as it boasts engaging characters, a moving story, and significant content on power, class and gender relations in India, old and new.

It’s a specific limbo between being a teenager and a Proper Adult, and though it’s wildly confusing, often lonely, sometimes embarrassing and frequently daunting, there’s also a whole lot of magic to be found in the chaos. 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.
