Women's hotel [large print] : a novel / Daniel M Lavery
"The Biedermeier Hotel might be lower on the ladder than the Barbizon, but its residents manage to occupy one another nonetheless. There's Katherine, the first-floor manager. There's Lucianne, a party girl, Kitty the sponger, Ruth the failed hairdresser, and Pauline the typesetter. And there's Stephen, the daytime elevator operator and part-time Cooper Union student. The residents give up breakfast, juggle competing jobs at rival presses, abandon their children, get laid off from the telephone company, attempt to retrain as stenographers, all with the shared awareness that their days as an institution are numbered, and they'd better make the most of it while it lasts."-- Page [4] of cover.
