Sinopsis

#1 AMAZON BESTSELLER, Top 3 in Indian Literature - US & India

"The Malgudi Days of our generation."

What if the most honest witness to a childhood wasn't a person - but the Colony dog who understands humans more than they understand each other?

For fans of Remarkably Bright Creatures and The Travelling Cat Chronicles comes a luminous debut set in the sun-drenched afternoons of 1980s and 90s India - a novel about a boy growing up and his family, and the colony dog who watched over everything.

Bhilai, 1989. India's steel township is a world unto itself - a cluster of identical quarters, shared courtyards, cricket in the dust, and Doordarshan on Friday nights. Ten-year-old Amit Verma has just arrived at C3 with his sister Guddi, ages 10 and 11, navigating middle school, new friendships, and a cast of neighbors who are legends in their own lane.

Watching over all of it is Jackie - the colony dog, philosopher, and Chief Human Observer - who has seen enough of people to understand them better than they understand themselves.

Together, they narrate a single unforgettable year. The friendships that form and fracture. Colony Diaries is the book for everyone who has ever tried to hold a place in memory before it slips away - and for every diaspora heart that knows exactly which mango season they are still trying to get back to.
