The Hotel
Book Feature - The Hotel by Pamela Kelley
HBL Note: I recently connected with Pamela through WFWA (Women’s Fiction Writers of America). She is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author and her latest novel, THE HOTEL, set at a family-owned exclusive hotel on Nantucket, came out this month. Personally, spending some time at a luxurious waterfront hotel sounds pretty good right now. But this novel isn’t all cool breezes and chilled wine, of course family drama ensues when one family member is fired and the other is promoted. Scroll down to read more.
Book Feature - The Hotel by Pamela Kelley
From the publisher:
The Whitley is Nantucket's most exclusive waterfront hotel - a sprawling collection of pristine white cottages and an elegant main building on a long stretch of private white sandy beach. It's a family owned business - brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, all work there in various capacities.
Paula is happy in her back-office accounting position. But changes are in store when her grandfather promotes her and fires her cousin - who then blames Paula.
Meanwhile, a blond romantic-comedy superstar is hiding out at the hotel for a few months. She meets Paula's brother, a chef - who has no idea who she is - and she likes it that way.
Paula's grandfather also hires a consultant to help her settle into her new role. But she isn't sure what to think of David, who grew up on Nantucket but now lives in Manhattan.
He's a brilliant consultant and will be assessing Paula's suitability for the role. He's also home for another reason, a difficult family issue that makes Manhattan seem very far away.
