With toiletries, hairbands, and notebooks in her bag, and at her mother’s instruction, a nineteen-year-old girl leaves her parents’ home and the seaside town she grew up in. Out the train window, Rafa sees the lit-up mountains and perfect trees—and the Olympic Hotel waiting for her perched above the small village of Strega. There, she and eight other girls receive the stiff black uniforms of seasonal workers and move into their shared dorm. But while they toil constantly to perform their role and prepare the hotel for guests, none arrive.

For good and bad, poetry.
Revisado: 01-23-23
The writing is poetry, but for me this book should have just been a (much shorter) poem. Without "spoiling" anything, even the climax was anti-climactic. I never really felt a sense of urgency at all. I can see that the author was possibly intentionally creating a sense of boredome - of the rote nature of life for so many women around the world - but it went too far for me.
It may have just been the wrong book at the wrong time for me. I tend to read for entertainment and escape and this seems to have required a lot more attention and study.
