'So good that when I finished it I had to go back to the beginning and read it all over again. A brave, brilliant and breathtaking book' - Maggie O'Farrell, Independent on Sunday

Hotel World by Ali Smith

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Orange Prize for Fiction 2001

'Ali Smith has got style, ideas and punch. Read her' - Jeanette Winterson

The kind of novel that is as rare as good room service, Ali Smith's Hotel World is a passionate, funny, serious, captivating glimpse into the lives of five people connected to one branch of the ubiquitous Global Hotel chain. Brought together - and forced apart - by a bizarre incident involving a dumb waiter, we share their hope and love - everything, in fact, that the world dares to throw at us.

'An extremely readable, easy-flowing writer and one of the subtlest and most intelligent around. Hotel World is essential reading from a writer confirming herself as a major talent . . . a wonderful piece of sustained imagination' - Independent.

'As infectious as a pop song, the story bursts open from the very first page and demands to be read in one sitting' - The Times

'Smith writes of the big issues of life and love, death and displacement with a delicate touch. Hotel World is the kind of book that will make even the most established writers feel inadequate' - List.

'Emotionally charged and compassionate, it bristles with inventiveness . . . you must read this book' - Scotsman.
