Reviews
A sleek, erotic, and suspenseful drama about men who cannot say the word love and the women they harm… Butler execytes a olit twist of profound proportions in this gorgeously controlled, unnerving, and beautifully revealing tale of the consequences of emotional withholding." — Booklist (starred review) Visions of the past arise in husband and wife on the brink of divorce, as metaphoric, coded conversations, minute gestures, and hurtful silences threaten grave consequences in this tightly focused intensely imagined, masterfully omniscient novel. Robert Olen Butler understands the failings of men, and he understands the failings of women just as well." —Susan Vreeland, author of Girl in Hyacinth Blue A Small Hotel is a gorgeous, hot-blade of a novel, infused with lyric grace— a page-turner that tracks the unexpected turns of a marriage. Reading it, I could not pull myself away. It is the story of a man and a woman— of love, betrayal, and the cost of silence. Revelatory and precise, A Small Hotel is a gem of great literary fiction, which contends that the life we live every day is not pedestrian, but charged, lucent. It can turn on a dime by what we say and what we fail to say." —Dawn Tripp, author of Game of Secrets
Synopsis
Set in contemporary New Orleans but working its way back in time, A Small Hotel chronicles the relationship between Michael and Kelly Hays, who have decided to separate after twenty-four years of marriage. The book begins on the day that the Hays are to finalize their divorce. Kelly is due to be in court, but instead she drives from her home in Pensacola, Florida, across the panhandle to New Orleans and checks into Room 303 at the Olivier House in the city's French Quarter—the hotel where she and Michael fell in love some twenty-five years earlier and where she now finds herself about to make a decision that will forever affect her, Michael, and their nineteen-year-old daughter, Samantha. An intelligent, deeply moving, and remarkably written portrait of a relationship that reads as a cross between a romance novel and a literary page turner, A Small Hotel is a masterful story that will remind readers once again why Robert Olen Butler has been called the best living American writer" (Jeff Guinn, Fort Worth Star-Telegram)., Set in contemporary New Orleans but working its way back in time, A Small Hotel chronicles the relationship between Michael and Kelly Hays, who have decided to separate after twenty-four years of marriage.

    One of a three book order/deal. All signed by the author! Packaged very well and arrived quickly and safely! Described in seller details as "Very Good +". I feel the books should have been rated "Good". I know the book condition grading system can be problematic/personal opinion. Also, I should have asked for additional pics. I would still recommend this seller. Just ask for more pics if you have any concerns. Great packaging & communication
