I loved Umrigar’s The Space Between Us. It felt like she was deep in the heart of the characters, deep in my heart. This one was surprising, therefore, for long spaces that I found flat and shallow. I didn’t really feel deep inside the characters hearts, or that I could be. Strange. I felt sympathetic to Lakshmi’s unhappiness in her marriage and her therapist Maggie’s feelings about her made me wonder if I could be a therapist (and if Maggie should either).
