Hotel World

Brought to you by Penguin. SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE and the ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTIONA masterful, exuberant novel from the acclaimed author of How to be both and the ongoing Seasonal quartetFive people: four are living, three are strangers, two are sisters, one is dead. In her highly acclaimed and most ambitious book to date, the brilliant young Scottish writer Ali Smith brings alive five unforgettable characters and traces their intersecting lives. This is a short novel with big themes (time, chance, money, death) but an eye for tiny detail: the taste of dust, the weight of a few coins in the hand, the pleasurable pain of a stone in one's shoe . . .'Ali Smith has got style, ideas and punch. Read her' Jeanette Winterson'As infectious as a pop song, the story bursts open from the very first page and demands to be read in one sitting' The Times'Hotel World is essential reading from a major talent' Independent(c) Ali Smith 2001 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
