by Emily St. John Mandel
The Glass Hotel - Thryft
The Glass Hotel - Thryft

Surviving crisis: Greed, guilt, and unintended consequences.

The Glass Hotel could be a good read for those who are intrigued by the intricacies of white-collar crimes and the unexpected consequences they can have on people's lives. Emily St. John Mandel weaves a masterful tale that explores the human experience in the face of crisis, from the high-life of luxury hotels to the depths of federal prisons. This book is a captivating portrayal of how people react when their expectations and hopes are dashed, and it's an excellent read for anyone who loves a good story about the complexity of human emotion.

Description

Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass-and-cedar palace on an island in British Columbia. Jonathan Alkaitis works in finance and owns the hotel. When he passes Vincent his card with a tip, it's the beginning of their life together. That same day, Vincent's half brother, Paul, scrawls a note on a windowed wall of the hotel: Why don't you swallow broken glass. Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for a company named Neptune-Avramidis, sees the note from the hotel bar and is shaken to his core. Thirteen years later Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of a Neptune-Avramidis ship. Weaving together the lives of these characters, The Glass Hotel moves between the ship, the skyscrapers of Manhattan, and the wilderness of northern Vancouver Island, painting a breathtaking picture of greed and guilt, fantasy and delusion, art and the ghosts of our pasts.
