Partly inspired by his family’s history, Sunjeev Sahota’s novel,
China Room, begins in 1929 Punjab, when three young women are married to three brothers in a single ceremony. As the women work hard on the family farm, from beneath their veils they try to piece together which brother is their husband.
Spiraled among this story are two other timelines, one in 1999, when the great-grandson of one of the brides returns to the family farm to fight an addiction, and 2019, when that same great-grandson returns to his parents home to write the story.
I recently spoke with Sunjeev Sahota from his home in London about this novel based on his fascinating family legend.

British writer, Louise Candlish, is the author of 15 books. Her latest,
The Other Passenger, is a psychological thriller centered on a group of fellow commuters who travel into central London on a water ferry. Full of sucker-punch twists, Candlish questions how well, despite traveling together every day, one can really know their fellow passengers. I recently caught up with Louise Candlish through Zoom at her home in London. I’m Beth Golay, this is Marginalia, and here’s our conversation.
The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish was published by Atria.
