Summary
The ghost of Sara Wilby, a chambermaid who falls to her death in the hotel dumbwaiter, brings together four other women--Lise, a disgruntled receptionist; Else, a homeless woman; Penny, a journalist; and Clare, Sara's distraught sister.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Five women: four are alive, three are foreigners, two are sisters, one is dead they have all been in this hotel. Their hopes and disappointments roam freely through the hallways, sheltered by its walls as each crosses the path of the other without ever giving a thought to the sheer coincidence of their encounters. Hotel World invites us to join them for a night in their existence. In this novel, opposite worlds collide, resulting in the affirmation of love. Smith is also known for The Accidental named Novel of the Year by Britain's prestigious Whitbread Book Awards.

Description In Spanish: Cinco mujeres: cuatro están vivas, tres son forasteras, dos son hermanas, una está muerta. Y todas han pasado alguna vez por el hotel. Hotel World nos acoge en una noche de sus vidas. Por los pasillos caminan sus esperanzas y desencantos, cobijados en la memoria de ese lugar. Cada una cruzándose con las demás sin reparar en la casualidad de sus encuentros. Juego, desafío, inventiva desbordante, esta novela es una alquimia de mundos opuestos que chocan para dar como resultado una parábola moderna sobre la comunicación y la indiferencia, y, finalmente, una defensa del amor.
