Abstract: The research paper investigates the significance of spaces in determining the manner in which unconventional relationships unfold away from the public gaze. The notion of spaces becomes integral in demarcating the private and the public spheres of life and paradoxically, problematizing the aforementioned distinctions. The paper employs the Nancy Duncan’s postulations on how the public-private dichotomy regulates sexuality. It also relies on Gillian Rose’s theorization on the influence of power in determining ‘real’ and ‘non-real’ spaces. Through the textual analysis of The Roof Beneath Their Feet by Geethanjali Shree, the paper weaves a connection between spaces and identities. The Roof Beneath Their Feet was originally published in Hindi as Tirohit and translated to English by Rahul Soni in 2013. The novel explores the roof as a space which allows expressions of women, hidden from the watchful eyes of the society that refuses to tolerate their companionship. The characters Lalna and Chachcho, through the ambiguity of their relationship, effectively destabilize societal norms. The interpersonal interactions between the two has undertones of intimate relations. The space of the roof assumes multiple meanings by facilitating the performance of what is otherwise ‘forbidden’. The translation of Shree’s narrative allows a space for mapping the modes of protest and resistance. It also enables one to trace the intersections of space, gender, sexuality and class. The novel thus contributes to the research to interpret the function of spaces, the mutability of spatial borders and their impact on relationships.
