Five voices converge around a hotel in England — a chambermaid who has died in a tragic accident, her sister, a homeless woman, a receptionist, and a guest. Through fragmented narratives and shifting perspectives, Ali Smith explores grief, love, and the fleeting nature of time.
Both experimental and deeply human, Hotel World blends wit with poignancy in Smith’s signature dazzling style — poetic, inventive, and emotionally resonant. Buzzed for its themes of mortality and memory, and Smith’s reputation as one of contemporary fiction’s boldest literary innovators.
Perfect for fans of Jeanette Winterson (Written on the Body), Virginia Woolf (Mrs Dalloway), and Smith’s own How to Be Both. Pair with The Accidental and How to Be Both for a complete Ali Smith trio.
A paperback (2001) in Good condition — light wear, intact binding, clean pages.
