Thirty-six of the most interesting writers in the Pacific
Northwest came together for a week-long marathon of writing
live on stage. The result? Hotel Angeline, a truly inventive
novel that surprises at every turn of the page. Something is
amiss at the Hotel Angeline, a rickety former mortuary
perched atop Capitol Hill in rain-soaked Seattle.
Fourteen-year-old Alexis Austin is fixing the plumbing, the
tea, and all the problems of the world, it seems, in her
landlady mother's absence. The quirky tenants-a hilarious
mix of misfits and rabble-rousers from days gone by-rely on
Alexis all the more when they discover a plot to sell the
Hotel. Can Alexis save their home? Find her real father?
Deal with her surrogate dad's dicey past? Find true love?
Perhaps only their feisty pet crow, Habib, truly knows.
Provoking interesting questions about the creative process,
