A new, piercing novel by Janusz Wiśniewski, a master of fine, sensitive prose.
The writer seems to lead us through the rooms of a historic hotel in Sopot, where—at different times—lived Hitler, de Gaulle, Marlene Dietrich, Shakira, Putin, and others, and he reveals the secrets of the hotel’s present-day guests. Behind every door lies loneliness, but the “Grand” hotel will give everyone a chance to change their fate. Who will be able to use that chance correctly?
