In contemporary Bombay, Thrity Umrigar introduces us to two women separated by India's rigid class system. Sera Dubash is an upper-middle-class housewife whose wealth and opulence hide the shame of an abusive marriage. Bhima lives in a vast slum, having known only despair and loss, and has worked as a domestic servant for the Dubash family for over twenty years. These women should have little in common, but their paths have more points of contact than one might imagine. An elegant reflection on the intrinsic connection of all human beings and a subtle analysis of the nature of social classes and power in India.
