:	Kirkus: "The pieces do finally come together, yet all remains oddly mechanical, no matter how many words and pages accumulate, and accumulate, and accumulate....Long riffs on a theme, presented like a puzzle."

Details:	<b>Hotel World </b>marks the American debut of an audaciously talented new novelist.<br><br>Sara Wilby, a hotel chambermaid, falls to her death in the dumbwaiter yet lingers in the world to remember things she never knew. Lise, the disgruntled receptionist, invites the homeless Else into the hotel, and together with Penny, a distracted journalist, they help Clare, the dead girl’s distraught sister, complete an errand she doesn’t fully understand. Five people: somehow they connect, and Ali Smith makes of their very different fates this playful, defiant, richly inventive, and wonderfully life- and love-affirming novel.
