The Hotel by Elizabeth Bowen

The Hotel

Elizabeth Bowen

A shy young girl sent to catch a husband at a fashionable hotel is, instead, captivated by a sophisticated woman. When the young Miss Sydney falls under the sway of an older woman, Mrs. Kerr, a sapphic affair simmers right below the surface of Bowen’s writing, creating a rich story that often relies as much on what is left unsaid as what is written on the page. Bowen depicts an intense interpersonal drama with wit and suspense, while playing with and pushing the English language to its boundaries.
