One of the most satisfying reads I've had in a long time

Not because it was particularly cheerful or uplifting. It wasn't.

Rather because it was so beautifully written and an emotional exploration. And Umrigar did a fantastic job of exploring bonds, loyalty and tensions between and across gender, between and across generations, between and across class lines. Without being condescending or drawing caricatures. The characters were real, genuine people.

Thrity Umrigar's The Space Between Us was just delicious. Yummm... I devoured it.
