«Olor de Colònia» is the contemporary novel by Sílvia Alcàntara i Ribolleda, published by Edicions de 1984 in paperback (330 pages, in Catalan).
The novel evokes life in a Catalan textile colony during the 1950s, a closed microcosm around the factory where workers and owners coexist. A fire disrupts the town's routine and brings to the surface tensions and secrets the community had kept. The narrative maintains tension until an unexpected denouement.
The work is number 62 in the Mirmanda collection from Edicions de 1984. Finalist for the 2009 Premi Llibreter for narrative and winner of the 2010 Premi Joaquim Amat-Piniella.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction in Catalan and for those who value the social portrait of industrial life.
