My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of Women's Hotel by Daniel M. Lavery from HarperVia via NetGalley. The book is available now.
I was really intrigued by the premise of Women's Hotel by Daniel M. Lavery. I have read about women's hotels in New York before. Having grown up in a small town in the Midwest, I often wondered what it would be like to pick up and move to the big city on my own. I would do that in my own way later, but these women were truly courageous to take such a chance. Even the concept of women's hotels is so fascinating with their rules to keep women's virtue intact. Although this is a fictional account about the different women living in one of the hotels, I'm sure it rings true for some who lived it. You get an interesting array of characters, all drawn to the city for different reasons, and with varying problems and life circumstances. I would be the woman who secretly has a cat in her room and also a hidden hot plate. It also made me excited for my next trip to New York! So much interesting history there to explore! If you like history, herstory, or New York, you should check this book out.
