Sydney Warren is a young, rebellious women in her twenties, uninterested in marriage and a puzzle to her friends and family. While staying at a luxurious hotel on the Italian Riviera, she becomes infatuated with Mrs. Kerr, an older and very beautiful widow—and the two women’s close friendship swiftly becomes the subject of gossip at the hotel. But when Mrs. Kerr’s young son arrives to visit his mother, the balance of Sydney and Mrs. Kerr’s relationship is upset: a drama that plays out in front of an array of delightful, fascinating minor characters.
Originally published in 1927, Elizabeth Bowen’s first novel follows a group of British tourists vacationing on the Italian Riviera. The Hotel is a debut novel that explores social and emotional relationships and one young woman’s coming-of-age.
