The kind of novel that is as rare as good room service, Ali Smith's Hotel World is a passionate, funny, serious, captivating glimpse into the lives offive people connected to one branch of the ubiquitous Global Hotel chain.
Brought together - and forced apart - by a bizarre incident involving a dumb waiter, we share their very different experiences of life in the aftermath of death, of pain and sorrow, of hope and love - everything, in fact, that the world dares to throw at us.

“So good that when I finished it I had to go back to the beginning and read it all over again. A brave, brilliant, and breathtaking book.”
The Times
“The story bursts open from the very first page and demands to be read in one sitting.”
