Nothing I love better then a story of a fabulous hotel and the hoteliers that run it. Full of well done story lines and good food, outdoor descriptions of the Island of Nantucket are wonderful! ( ) There are several people to keep track of in Pamela Kelley’s The Hotel, but the author does a good job of not losing the reader with the multiple storylines. I enjoyed visiting the prestigious Whitley Hotel and the beauty and activity of Nantucket through the eyes of the Whitley family. And oh boy, will the descriptions of the food in this book make your mouth water. From the chocolate-covered cranberries to the seafood dishes and everything in between, Kelley delights imaginary tastebuds with her delectable descriptions. And while The Hotel is an escape of sorts, it’s also a story of family and all the dynamics involved, of discovering joy in your occupation, of learning and growing from advice and what may sometimes feel like criticism from others, and romance. Disclosure statement: I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. The Hotel is a wonderful story with various important precepts to consider. Although somewhat predictable there were many "twists" and fast paced events, it was never boring. This was an inspirational motivating story of positive self-talk, pushing oneself to do more than one considers possible. It is about loyalty, jealousy, forgiveness, finding ones own purpose, .dysfunctional relationships, being honest with oneself and willing to improve. It's about trust, friendship and love. The characters are believable and well-defined. It is easy for the reader to feel aart of the story. The title and Cover image are sim[le but a great "fit". I am looking forward to reading more works by this great writer! This book was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The Whitley is Nantucket's most exclusive hotel. It's a sprawling collection of pristine white cottages and an elegant main building on a long stretch of private white sandy beach. The list of famous celebrity guests that have visited over the years is top secret and a matter of pride to the Whitley family. If you work in the hospitality industry, landing a job at The Whitley is the ultimate goal. Many of the staff have lived and worked there for years. There are strict rules about the staff keeping their distance from both the guests and the family, but, sometimes, rules get broken. No one is more surprised than Paula Whitley when her grandfather, Wynn Whitley, the founder of the hotel and many other business holdings, makes two big announcements: The first is that he's promoting Paula from her quiet-behind-the-scenes role handling the accounting to being in charge of everything-with the rest of the family being stunned, and not everyone happy about it. And the second is that she's expected to work closely with a newly-hired consultant, a turnaround expert in luxury hotels. Paula dislikes David Connolly immediately. He's arrogant and bossy and annoyingly right most of the time. She'd be loving her new role if it wasn't for him. And everyone, family and staff, are wondering what grandfather's goal is. Is he looking to sell The Whitley? No library descriptions found. |
