The Space Between Us

The Space Between Us opens and closes with the same metaphor. How do these lines reflect the journey Bhima undergoes throughout the book?

Compare and contrast the relationships between Feroz and Sera, Gopal and Bhima, and Viraf and Dinaz. What similarities do they share, and where do they differ? Which central theme(s) of the book do each of these relationships explore, and how?

How do Jehroo and Banu contribute to upholding patriarchal notions surrounding marriage? How does Sera perpetuate their attitudes and beliefs toward Dinaz, if at all?
