Vincent is an interesting character – you really do not know what is going on in her head. From the beginning pages, I thought it might be more of a thriller, but it’s much more. The writing is so captivating and mesmerizing to read how all the characters and events interweave together. 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. ![]() Thirteen years later Vincent mysteriously disappears from the deck of a Neptune-Avramidis ship. That same day, Vincent’s half-brother, Paul, scrawls a note on the windowed wall of the hotel: “Why don’t you swallow broken glass.” Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for a company called Neptune-Avramidis, sees the note from the hotel bar and is shaken to his core. When he passes Vincent his card with a tip, it’s the beginning of their life together. Jonathan Alkaitis works in finance and owns the hotel. Synopsis: From : Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star glass and cedar palace on an island in British Columbia. Just finished this for a work book club and I heard so many great things about her previous book Station 11 and this one. ![]()
