Produktbeschreibung

'A phenomenally immersive read' Claire Lombardo 'Brings its setting and its large ensemble of characters vividly to life' Sunday Times 'Funny and imaginative with real emotional heft' Irish Independent In 1942, June 'Hoss' Hudson runs the finest hotel in the Appalachian Mountains. The Avallon, owned by the wealthy Gilfoyle family, is a world away from the war in Europe. But when Edgar, the eldest son who June has loved since childhood, strikes a deal with the State Department, June finds herself playing host to three hundred foreign diplomats. Nobody at the Avallon wants to serve caviar to the enemy. As tensions rise among staff and guests, dark alliances and unexpected desires begin to crack the hotel's polished veneer. Not least between June and Tucker Minnick, a government agent listening through the walls for secrets, whose watchful eyes both unsettle and attract her. For June is guarding a secret of her own - one she has risked everything to keep. * 'Mesmeric, original and stunning' Chris Whitaker 'Around every corner of this richly imagined world, we discover some new wonder' New York Times 'A marvel: strange, witty, moving, exuberant' Robert Macfarlane ***READER REVIEWS*** 'I have not stopped thinking about it' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ 'It feels like the kind of story that becomes a classic' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ 'A hauntingly beautiful read' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ 'I wonder if Maggie Stiefvater would have ever suspected how well timed this book release would be.

Rezensionen

Cinematic and so very satisfying. This is a rich, multilayered ride of a novel not unlike the hotel at its heart - grand, patient, leaving no particulars unnoticed. A phenomenally immersive read Claire Lombardo, bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
