Dr. Aarohi Sen lives a composed, carefully curated life - a respected pediatrician in Switzerland, emotionally reserved, fiercely independent, and quietly shaped by a childhood that taught her to grow up too early.
Behind her professional calm lies an unspoken loneliness, softened only by fleeting moments of connection - with children who trust her, with memories she avoids naming, and with parts of herself she is slowly learning to understand.
As Aarohi navigates therapy, emotional healing, and the quiet rhythm of her days, an unexpected presence enters her life - someone from a different world, carrying his own silences, his own disappointments, and his own complicated relationship with hope.
The Space Between Us is a slow-burn contemporary novel about emotional distance, mental health, childhood wounds, cross-cultural encounters, and the fragile courage it takes to trust connection again. It explores imperfect hearts, gentle healing, and the unseen spaces that exist between people - where vulnerability, understanding, and quiet love often begin.
For readers who appreciate soft romance, emotional realism, and stories that feel deeply human.
