Synopsis

One hotel. One night. Five characters. Four living, one dead. How do their stories connect? In her most ambitious book to date, the brilliant young Scottish writer, Ali Smith, challenges the laws of cause and effect which we like to believe shape our lives. Passionate, witty, and formally inventive, HOTEL WORLD brings alive five unforgettable characters and traces their intersecting lives. This is a short novel with big themes (time, chance, money, death) but an eye for tiny detail: the taste of dust, the weight of a few coins in the hand, the pleasurable pain of a stone in one's shoe...
