The Paragon Hotel by Lyndsay Faye

challenging reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes

4.5

Knowing yourself, and letting others know you and your story, is the main theme, beautifully wrought. Set in New York City and Portland OR in the 1920s, this illustrates who we name as "us" and who is "other" and the cruelties inflicted by people with more social power. Wonderful book.
