Fantasy. Fiction. Literature. HTML:

From the wildly popular bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things comes a surprising and uplifting story about the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters, and the magic of chosen family.
Tilly was a bright, outgoing little girl who loved fizzy drinks, naughty words, and liked playing with ghosts and matches. When her beloved father suddenly disappeared, she and her fragile, difficult mother moved into Queenie Malone's magnificent Paradise Hotel in Brighton, with its endearing and loving family of misfits??including the exuberant and compassionate Queenie herself. But then Tilly was dealt another shattering blow when her mother sent her off to boarding school with little explanation and no warning, and she lost her beloved chosen family.

Now an adult, Tilda has grown into an independent woman still damaged by her mother's unaccountable cruelty. Wary of people, her only true friend is her dog, Eli. When her estranged mother dies, Tilda returns to Brighton and the home she loved best. With the help of the still-dazzling Queenie, she sets about unraveling the mystery of her exile from The Paradise Hotel, only to discover that her mother was not the woman she thought she knew at all...and that it's never too late to write your own happy ending.

With Ruth Hogan's trademark quirky, clever, and life-affirming characters, Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel will dazzle readers and mesmerize them until they reach the surprising twist at the end.… (plus d'informations)

Having totally enjoyed Ruth's first two books i had fairly high expectations of this, and i wasn't disappointed.

Once more Ruth dives into sensitive topics and tells a great story with not only compassion but also a wonderful touch of humour in all the right places.

Written from the point of view of Tilly and Tilda.   Tilly, the little girl who finds out her dad just died after he went away to work and Tilda, the grown woman whose mum just died and left Tilda her diaries of what really happened to her dad all those years ago -- and a simple note saying "Forgive me".   Back and forth we go, a chapter at a time, between Tilly back then and Tilda now, and it works amazingly well as our story gets told and the truth gets revealed, piece by piece.

And what a wonderful place the Paradise Hotel must have been for a child to live, if only for a while.   A den of loveable, eccentric crackpots, delightful: “Everyone there had been cracked in the kiln in one way or another.”

Ruth is a wonderful writer who never fails to conjure up the most wonderful cast of characters to tell the stories about the damaged souls that life creates.   I do hope for many more books from Ruth. ( )

Thoroughly enjoyable with realistic main characters and delightfully caricatured more minor ones. Told in two time-frames, so we see the viewpoints of Tilda, in her mid-forties, as well as when she was known as Tilly, aged 7.

Secrets are uncovered, surprises revealed, and Tilda learns some uncomfortable things that start to change her view of the past. Some amusing moments - mainly in young Tilly's tendency to mis-hear words - and much that's thought-provoking.

Definitely recommended.

4.5 stars. This is my favorite of Ruth Hogan's three books. ( )

A good fast book. I've read a lot of books about children learning about their mothers/parents from diaries and this was one of them but with different aspects in it. I loved some of the characters from Queenie's where Tilda and her mother went to live and Tilda, as a child was very precocious and loved her thinking but not her obsessiveness with eating things in certain ways. It was OCD I guess. She never grew out of it either it seems.

The book went back and forth from present to past which I'm used to. ( )

This was such a sweet novel. Tilda’s story is revealed by looking at her quirky current life and her 7 year old life when her experiences shaped her.
Both sad and funny (I loved Tilly’s voice and misunderstandings) it was truly touching. ( )
