The Space Between Us

Description

When relationships break, it’s not loud. It’s quiet. It’s hardly ever noticeable. A slight drift that starts with missed talks and delayed affection, then two people slowly forgetting the ways to find each other.
Through a series of intimate stories inspired by real emotional patterns, the book walks you into the kitchens, balconies, and bedrooms of couples who haven’t stopped living together—but have slowly stopped living with each other. A wife whose dreams shrink so her family can grow. A husband who carries his pain like a secret assignment. A marriage that survives everything except silence. A home where a smartphone becomes the third person in the relationship.
Parents who remain together for the sake of children but break up inside.
Partners who do not quarrel-but also do not talk.
Every chapter mirrors the little routines, unvoiced grievances, and gaps in feelings plus trivial misreadings that slowly kill love well ahead of any actual parting.
But-no, this book isn't about endings.
It's about noticing things mending plus a thin chance that stuff might get gentler before it's late.
With a quiet watch, The Space Between Us speaks one plain fact: ties don’t break all at once. They fall apart in times we miss. And they mend in the times we pick to see.
If you have ever felt lonely with somebody you love if you have sustained a marriage out of obligation rather than intimacy if you are trying to figure out how the distance began this book will make you feel seen understood and quietly held Open these pages slow You might find your own story breathing between the lines

About the Author

Manas Mondal is more than a writer. He͏ is a seeker, a diver of the soul, and a narrator of the human spirit. An awarded Naval veteran, mid-sea diver, and aircrew rescue Diver, he has flown amidst storms in helicopters like Chetak, Seaking, and MI-8 performing life-saving missions that required not only precision but also heart.
But even in the adrenaline of rescue and service, something deeper called him. That call led him from the centre of the ocean to the ocean within. Now based in Gujarat and working in a leading Public Sector Unit, Manas holds an MBA in Supply Chain Management. His profession pays the bills—his writing nourishes the soul. With every story, he aims to stir, to awaken, and to help readers come home to themselves.
A bestselling author of works including Echoes of Separation: Whisper of Rebirth, The Secret Child, The Silent Manuscript, and The Ink That Fought Back—books threading the needle between psychology and spirituality—has developed a unique voice attractive enough to win him the Author Award and India Author Academy Voice Award, Luminary Award besides the prestigious Rabindranath Tagore Banga Sahitya Kala Somman, and Rashtra Prerna Award 2025 from World Book Records.
A firm practitioner of the philosophy that says community above competition, also shares credit for writing Pages of Power Vol-2 with 13 inspirational writers—an ode to togetherness and holistic development. Manas is a vital link in the chain called Skill Nation; another at India Author Academy (IAA), and yet another at Internet Lifestyle Hub (ILH)—progressing both as writer and guide. He is a perpetual student who has come to believe firmly that truthful words have dynamism enough to effect change in lives.
Looking ahead, Manas sees his future standing as a Hurt to Bestseller Coach helping others find healing, clarity, and confidence through writing. His mission sits boldly in his heart—to reach 100,000 lives with stories and support and soul-led transformation. For Manas, a book is never just a story. It’s a mirror that reveals. A path that guides. And a doorway back to the truth we often forget.
