The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar

Such a fascinating book!  It takes place in Bombay, and describes the relationship between a wealthy family and their employee, Bhima.  We learn about both Sara and Bhima, their children, their husbands, and how their lives differ and yet are so often the same.  The author does a marvelous job of describing Bhima's living conditions in the slums and the frustrations she endures.  The characters are well developed, and the story line is moving.  I highly recommend this one!  -June
