While the Captain manages the bars and chats to customers, his wife takes on the day-to-day chores and staffing woes. Both of them dream of escaping, but the hotel is a millstone around their necks economically and increasingly putting a strain on their marriage. In spite of all this, The Hotel Albatross is a whimsical and often humorous novel, peopled with eccentrics and lively small-town characters.
Each chapter works as a separate story – for instance, the mysterious smell of Room 101, or the incident with the difficult wedding party. This makes the book ideal to pick up for a short spell of relaxation – an undemanding read yet something of a little gem.
