The Pink Hotel by Anna Stothard
Longlisted for the Orange Fiction Prize 2012, The Pink Hotel is a tale about finding love in the most unlikely of places, and how sometimes you can only know who you are by discovering who you are not.
I am always drawn to stories with strong and complex female protagonistsAnd I always knew the first movie I would want to direct would contain the role I would have killed to play when I was a teenager. This book moved and provoked me in ways I can't fully articulate. I am incredibly excited to transform Anna Stothard's extraordinary work into a film I hope we will both be proud of. -- Anna Paquin
The Pink Hotel is mysterious, lyrical, and utterly absorbing, by turns funny and forlorn. Anna Stothard is a precise, insightful observer of what it means to be human, and her writing bristles with sexiness and suspense, love, loss, and longing. This is the best book I've read in years. -- Davy Rothbart, author of My Heart is an Idiot
The quality of her writing is remarkable. -- Helen Dunmore
She breathes new life into old literature. -- Fay Weldon
Astonishingly good... Stothard's writing is accomplished and very engaging. * The Times *
A poignant novel about identity, and a love/hate letter to LA. * Glamour Magazine *
Matters of personal identity underlie an exhilarating ride through LA's seamier side in the company of a hard-bitten yet highly engaging protagonist. * The Daily Mail *
A gently transgressive, transatlantic quest that conjures up both the languid heat of LA and the confusions of a young woman on the cusp. * The Lady *
A really haunting story set over a summer in the underbelly of Los Angeles. -- Olivia Grant * Best Beach Reads, InStyle Magazine *
