Despre această carte electronică
A melancholic yet hopeful love story across time that follows a woman haunted by a past tragedy, a musician traumatized by his time in the WWI trenches, and the magical hotel that brings them together.
Eve Shaw is haunted—not just by adorable rabbits and purple balloons that only she can see, but by grief and guilt over a devastating mistake she would do anything to undo.
The White Octopus Hotel, a once-resplendent Belle Epoch building high in the Swiss Alps, is rumored to contain a numinous magic. A phone that lets you speak to the dead. A clock whose hands point not to hours and minutes but to Champagne, Truth, and Revelations. A music box that plays the most beautiful music in the world.
But most critical to Eve is the rumored writing tablet that allows you to send a message to your past self—Eve's chance to undo the mistake that destroyed her life. . . if she can navigate a hotel that was abruptly abandoned in 1935 and has been a moldering ruin ever since.
Yet as she steps through the crumbling doors, Eve knows she has been to the White Octopus before. Once inside, Eve finds herself in 1935, a few days before the infamous Last Party, and inexplicably drawn to the handsome young music composer named Max Everly.
Unknowingly, Eve has opened a door to more than just the past. For within the White Octopus, rules are bent, people are transformed, and enchanting journeys await. Love and healing are Eve’s for the taking—if she can forgive herself enough to seize hold.
