She's been here once before. In the years since, the room hasn't changed, but she has. Forever caught between check-in and check-out, she will go on to occupy other hotel rooms. Avignon to Oslo, Auckland to Austin, each as anonymous as the last but bound by rules of her choosing. There, amid the detritus of her travels, the matchbooks, cigarettes, keys and room-service wine, she negotiates with her memories, with the men she sometimes meets, with the clichés invented to aggravate middle-aged women, with those she has lost or left behind--and with what it might mean to return home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUrgent and immersive, filled with black humour and desire, McBride's \u003ci\u003eStrange Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel of enduring emotional force.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49373497164080,"sku":"BDdn51","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/dn51-cover.jpg?v=1761767548","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dn51","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
