The Space Between Us at Veggie Heaven


Neary Bookworms met on November 4th at Veggie Heaven to discuss this month's novel. The quiet ambiance of this location added a calmness to our exuberant discussion. We noted that the author was able to draw us into the story with her perceptive dialogues and skillful writing. Although the plot takes place in modern day India, we easily related to and empathized with the two main characters Sera and Bhima. These interesting characters led us to an insightful discussion about their relationship and our respective relationships with our help. We realized that many women's emotions are universal. We also discussed the strong value this society places on education. Some of us tasted Kosher wine for the first time and enjoyed it as well. Another memorable book and wonderful ladies to share it with. ----Diana

  1. Dear Diana,
    Thanks for pushing us to start this great book club. It's one of the best things I've done in retirement. The Space Between Us is another great choice of books. We were all so excited to talk about it, that it took a lot of effort on your part to be sure to give us all equal time. Loved the book, loved the discussion and loved the company. How wonderful to find a group of women we can trust enough to share our true feelings!
    Bravo!
    It was great to have you join us again at the meetings. We need to plan them around your visits to NY. Thanks Diana!! -Lourdes
