The Feeling House cover

'There is nothing to forget' A young girl awakes alone next to a burning truck and befriends a nearby cloud; an Eritrean refugee studies interior design as he attempts to build his new home; a group of illegal immigrants embark on an arduous journey in the city as they desperately seek: Her. Darting from the dark underbelly of London to the sexually impenetrable home, Saleh Addonia writes stories of displacement and frustration. Tinged with isolation and alienation, each tale strikes the imagination as Addonia weaves the surreal into devastatingly human stories. With a fable-like wisdom and poignancy, The Feeling House is a compelling, sometimes moving, portrayal of years of a profound disorientation that has fractured time and memory.

“A vital project illuminating the realities of human beings on the move across this restless planet” – Ian McMillan "the ultimate refuge for the loss of love and meaning" - Xiaolu Guo, writer of A Lover's Discourse and writer and director of She, A Chinese
