I was profoundly touched by the author's novel, The Space Between Us, so I checked out this sequel, The Secrets Between Us, when I found out that it was released. In many ways, this book was more powerful to me. The main character is Bhima, the servant who had worked on one household for dozens of years and was fired. (I'll try not to give spoilers.) Her granddaughter Maya also plays a significant role. But the other pivotal character is Parvati, a very old woman who sits scowling on a street corner selling 6 withered cauliflower daily. The interactions between all three, as well as Bhima finding a way to move forward financially and personally are riveting. I'm grateful that our library has copies of both of these books and I highly recommend them.
