The White Octopus Hotel - by Alexandra Bell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

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.
