About this product

Product Information

The Captain and his wife accidentally find themselves managing the Hotel Albatross. The Captain floats between the hotel's various bars: chatting to and chatting up customers, breaking up fights, and dealing calmly with the simmering tensions of a small town. His wife has her hands full with the day-to-day running of the hotel: mediating between family members fighting over wedding decorations, appeasing disgruntled staff members, and dealing with the horror of what lies in room 101. She also dreams of getting out...A wonderfully poignant novel about hotel management and human nature.

    Excellent customer service and communication from this seller (oakbooks). The book (as pictured) arrived quickly but had been damaged somewhere along the way. The seller consistently replied promptly to my messages, took my concerns seriously, and was very helpful overall. Thank you for a good resolution.

    items were sent express and with tracking but number wasn't provided. it makes sense with the prices so I wish it was disclosed beforehand and provided when sent. each item was sent separately and none of them had any protective packaging. i missed the part in the listing where all the books have a sticker covering the spine, something to be aware of if buying as a gift. thank you for selling.

  • One of my favourites

    I have read this book several times and every time I find it utterly compelling. You grow to love the protagonist, who is never named, but is such a real person that you feel she is part of your family or one of your best friends, or even you yourself. The book is hysterically funny, but painfully so - you laugh silently, helplessly, tears spilling over. The writing is simple, effortless and beautiful; in one paragraph she describes her love/hate relationship with this country town in which the hotel is located, its autumn loveliness, and you have to read it several times to absorb its power . The pageant of characters is enchanting and awful by turns. I can't think of a book that makes me happier to read. And the ending is liberating.
