Thank you to Swift Press and Netgalley for the eARC of The House Next to the Factory by Sonal Kohli! Published in the UK November 3 🎉

This essay/story collection features 8 short stories, ranging in time from 1980s to 2010. The characters well developed and loosely connected to each other. Some characters reappear in other stories which I quite enjoyed. The author knows how to say a lot without directly going into detail; ie she shows us what’s happening through her prose rather than telling us in so many words. And as with all short story collections, I liked some more than others but overall an interesting look at domestic life in India.
