The House Next to the Factory by Sonal Kohli

The House Next to the Factory by Sonal Kohli

The House Next to the Factory shows a changing India over three decades through the lens of one family and the house that they live in.

‘What links Sonal Kohli’s beautiful, perspicacious stories is an aspirational India informed by historical and economic change …she has a way of absorbing the reader in her world, and also revealing very delicately how that world is surprising, unexpected, and in flux’ - Amit Chaudhuri

‘In quietly ambitious prose, Sonal Kohli charts the turbulent three decades of a 'rising' India. The House Next to the Factory is one of the very rare fictions to examine the immense human costs – profound emotional and psychological disorientations – that the Indian bourgeoisie has paid for its material success’ - Pankaj Mishra

‘Sonal Kohli's stories of a modern India continually feeling the reverberations of its own turbulent history are finely observed and richly atmospheric. ’ Carys Davies

‘Kohli layers story on top of story with finesse and grace. An abiding collection from a highly skilled observer of lives and places’ Ruby Cowling

‘Thoughtful, delicate and wide-ranging, The House Next to the Factory is a testament to the often-overlooked power of the ordinary’ - Madhuri Vijay
