À propos de cet audio
Bhima, the unforgettable main character of Thrity Umrigar’s beloved national best seller, The Space Between Us, returns in this triumphant sequel - a poignant and compelling novel in which the former servant struggles against the circumstances of class and misfortune to forge a new path for herself and her granddaughter in modern India.
Poor and illiterate, Bhima had faithfully worked for the Dubash family, an upper-middle-class Parsi household, for more than 20 years. Yet after courageously speaking the truth about a heinous crime perpetrated against her own family, the devoted servant was cruelly fired. The sting of that dismissal was made more painful coming from Sera Dubash, the temperamental employer who had long been Bhima’s only confidante. A woman who has endured despair and loss with stoicism, Bhima must now find some other way to support herself and her granddaughter, Maya.
Bhima’s fortunes take an unexpected turn when her path intersects with Parvati, a bitter, taciturn older woman. The two acquaintances soon form a tentative business partnership, selling fruits and vegetables at the local market. As they work together, these two women seemingly bound by fate grow closer, each confessing the truth about their lives and the wounds that haunt them. Discovering her first true friend, Bhima pieces together a new life, and together, the two women learn to stand on their own.
A dazzling story of gender, strength, friendship, and second chances, The Secrets Between Us is a powerful and perceptive novel that brilliantly evokes the complexities of life in modern India and the harsh realities faced by women born without privilege as they struggle to survive.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 187
When Marshall McEwan left his hometown at age 18, he vowed never to return. The trauma that drove him away ultimately spurred him to become one of the most successful journalists in Washington DC. But just as the political chaos in the nation’s capital lifts him to new heights, Marshall is forced to return home in spite of his boyhood vow. His father is dying, his mother is struggling to keep the family newspaper from failing, and the town is in the midst of an economic rebirth that might be built upon crimes that reach into the state capitol - and perhaps even to Washington.

What do I think about this novel?
I loved each sentence - so rich & beautifully written and presented. Took me away from my own world and "plunk"...directly into another, in which the characters came alive and crystal clear in my minds' eye. I love a book that has the power to do this .... I highly recommend this experience! Thank You - Thrity Umrigar - Thank You.

Such interesting characters
I loved this story. Such a well developed story line
and unforgettable characters. People living through such adversity and some of them struggling to survive and others through sheer
persistence rising above abject poverty. But also the intertwining of the characters to fully tell the
whole story. What a good writer.

A vivid description has taken me to through the sights, sounds, smells and social pecking orders, and complexities of living in this desperately poor part of the world. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey

Beautiful story
I loved this book. The narrator was outstanding. The character’s end of life towards the end of the book was perfect. I loved the interplay of memories woven with her current reality. I highly recommend this book. Rarely do I listen more than once to a book but I would consider living this one again.
