Status Updates From Hotel du Lac

This book won the Booker prize. The writing is stunningly beautiful but the story is utterly boring. I don't want to stop reading it, but I wish something would happen 😭

On my trip to Europe last year, I wanted to pick something up from the authors of the countries I was exploring. I chose The Door from an author from Budapest and this one from Switzerland. Turns out she is from London and spent good time in Paris, but not Switzerland. The book is based in Switzerland though.

I am barely twenty pages into it and I can already see how smart, funny and observant a writer Anita is.
