The White Hotel

The million copy Booker Prize finalist besteller“To describe this novel as spine-tingling in its indescribable poetic effect would be to trivialize its profoundly tragic theme. Say then that it is heart-stunning.”—The New York TimesIt is a dream of electrifying eroticism and inexplicable violence recounted by a young woman to her analyst Sigmund Freud. It is a horrifying yet restrained narrative of the Holocaust. It is a searing vision of the wounds of the twentieth century and an attempt to heal them. Interweaving poetry and case history fantasy and historical truth-telling The White Hotel is a modern classic of enduring emotional power that attempts nothing less than to reconcile the notion of individual destiny with that of historical fate.
