Critics Review
Hotel Milano is one of Tim Parks’ most engaging and satisfying books * Scotsman, Summer Reads of 2023 *Tim Parks, a long-time resident in Italy, is an accomplished writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and this deft and affecting short novel combines his skills * New Statesman *A compelling mix of emotional introspection and pressing drama * Mail on Sunday *Excellent and quietly devastating… While recent pandemic novels such as Sarah Hall’s Burntcoat and Sarah Moss’s The Fell gave us the claustrophobia and forced intimacy of the pandemic, Hotel Milano comes closest to evoking what it was really like to watch the world be redrawn in real time * Guardian *Parks writes with an appealing wry elegance, and his quirky, erudite narrator finally finds solace not so much in the grand themes of European culture as in a shredded balloon stuck in a tree or the yellow beak of a blackbird * Spectator *
