The year is 1921, and "Nobody" Alice James has just arrived in Oregon with a bullet wound, a lifetime's experience battling the New York Mafia, and 50,000 dollars in illicit cash. She befriends Max, a Black Pullman porter who reminds her achingly of home and who saves Alice by leading her to the Paragon Hotel. But her unlikely sanctuary turns out to be an all-Black hotel in a Jim Crow city, and its lodgers seem unduly terrified of a White woman on the premises. She understands their dread. The Ku Klux Klan has arrived in Portland in fearful numbers.

Ms. Faye is incapable of disappointing
Revisado: 08-28-19
Lyndsay Faye impressed me with her first novel, Dust and Shadow, and cemented her place as one of my favorite authors with her Gods of Gotham trilogy. Her later book, a quirky, dark funny shout out to Jane Eyre, and her additional Sherlock stories delighted me as well.
The Paragon Hotel has kept with the trend. Wonderfully complicated characters, and a perfect blend of humor, tragedy, suspense, and on-point (read:infuriating) social commentary all blend to make a read I couldn’t put down. I highly recommend diving into her books, and I eagerly await what she comes up with next.

Nature's a fickle thing. When four days of rain occur earlier in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice to trap Jane and Elizabeth Bennet at Netherfield Park, new romances, misunderstandings, and alignments are made. Volatile tempers never did well cooped up together. Not even when there's a chessboard to help pass the time. Fall in love with the romance of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet all over again in this new variation by author Elizabeth Ann West.

Narrator was awful
Revisado: 08-28-19
Quit within the first chapter. The narrator was terrible. Gave story 3 starts because I had to rate it, and I didn’t want to either give a misleading high rating for a book I couldn’t listen to, or short the author for her narrator’s performance. I’ll try the kindle edition instead.
