Utterly winning . . . Faye writes a good puzzle . . . [and she s] a person meant to write, who thinks and jokes and understands by writing. It s a rare gift. New York Times Book Review
More Praise for The Paragon Hotel
The Paragon Hotel is set a century ago, but its themes of social and cultural upheaval feel sufficiently fresh that you might think twice about calling Lyndsay Faye s sixth novel historical fiction. But calling it terrific not for a minute should you hesitate to do that....The great strength of The Paragon Hotel is Ms. Faye s voice a blend of film noir and screwball comedy....The jauntiness of the prose doesn t hide the fact that Ms. Faye has serious business on her mind. At bottom, The Paragon Hotel is about identity and about family those we re born into and those we create. The Wall Street Journal
"With complex, believable characters and an intricate plot, this is a sprightly, enjoyable read." People
This books succeeds wildly on several levels. First, as a beautiful period piece, slangy and jazzy and bringing 1921 to brilliant life. Second, as a lesson about the racist history of Oregon. . . . And third, as a suspense story. . . . I love so much about this book. Raleigh News and Observer
This historical novel, which carries strong reverberations of present-day social and cultural upheavals, contains a message from a century ago that's useful to our own time: We need to do better at solving things.
