{"product_id":"womens-hotel-a-novel-womens-hotel-1","title":"Women's Hotel: A Novel (Women's Hotel, 1)","description":"National Bestseller\nONE OF FALL'S MOST ANTICIPATED READS—New York Times, Vulture, BookPage, Kirkus Reviews, and more\nFrom the New York Times bestselling author and advice columnist, a poignant and funny debut novel of literary fiction about the residents of a women’s hotel in 1960s New York City.\nThe Biedermeier might be several rungs lower on the ladder than the real-life Barbizon, but its residents manage to occupy one another nonetheless. There’s Katherine, the first-floor manager, lightly cynical and more than lightly suggestible. There’s Lucianne, a workshy party girl caught between the love of comfort and an instinctive bridling at convention, Kitty the sponger, Ruth the failed hairdresser, and Pauline the typesetter. And there’s Stephen, the daytime elevator operator and part-time Cooper Union student.\nThe residents give up breakfast, juggle competing jobs at rival presses, abandon their children, get laid off from the telephone company, and attempt to retrain as stenographers. This character-driven story captures their shared awareness that their days as an institution are numbered, and they’d better make the most of it while it lasts.\nAs trenchant as the novels of Dawn Powell and Rona Jaffe and as immersive as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Lessons in Chemistry, Women’s Hotel is a modern classic of women's fiction—and it is very, very funny.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0063343533\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0063343533.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lavery, Daniel M.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
