Doric Hotel. American English Version (Paperback)

Paperback. "What could have happened here?" Ancona, Italy, 2009. Lara Isabel is thirty years old, stuck in a soul-crushing office job, and paralyzed by a secret, impossible love. But a chance encounter with Dora, a sharp-witted eighty-four-year-old, changes everything. Dora carries a sorrow that has haunted her for over half a century, rooted in the ghosts of the 1943 bombings and a betrayal that severed the bonds with those she loved most. As their extraordinary friendship grows, Lara is drawn into a world of hidden diaries, dusty attics, and the tragic echoes of the Holocaust in Italy. Through the rediscovered voices of Giorgia and Myriam, Lara uncovers a story of friendship and sacrifice that transcends time. Doric Hotel is an intimate and moving urban mystery about the power of memory. It is the journey of a young woman who, while seeking to heal a broken heart, discovers a deeper truth: the past is never truly gone, and certain friendships are written in the stars and beyond.
