Hotel world

19-year-old hotel chambermaid Sara Wilby bets the bellboy five quid that she can fold herself into the dumbwaiter, but when she does, it plummets to the basement. Succeeding chapters focus on a succession of individuals who are either directly connected to Sara or to the scene of her death. These five people, who often speak through interior monologues, include Saras̉ own somewhat forgetful ghost; the ailing, homeless Elsie, who speaks in a private shorthand; the disgruntled hotel receptionist, Lise; a monumentally distracted journalist, Penny; and Saras̉ grieving sister, Clare. And one night all five women find themselves in the smooth plush environs of the Global Hotel.

Brought together -- and forced apart -- by a bizarre incident involving a dumb waiter, we share their very different experiences of the 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."@es

  • "The lives of four women are changed by the ghost of a teenaged chambermaid one night at the Global Hotel. Five people: four are living; three are strangers; two are sisters; one, a teenage hotel chambermaid, has fallen to her death in a dumbwaiter. But her spirit lingers in the world, straining to recall things she never knew. And one night all five women find themselves in the smooth plush environs of the Global Hotel, where the intersection of their very different fates make for this playful, defiant, and richly inventive novel. Forget room service: this is a riotous elegy, a deadpan celebration of colliding worlds, and a spirited defense of love. Blending incisive wit with surprising compassion, Hotel World is a wonderfully invigorating, life-affirming book."
