There’s something Hollywood-esque about being at the beach—maybe it’s all the sunglasses? It’s certainly the perfect time to listen to the definitive history of Hollywood’s most iconic, storied, and scandalous hotel: the Chateau Marmont. An apartment house-turned-hotel, the Chateau has been the backdrop for generations of star-studded gossip and folklore, and much of what’s happened inside the Chateau’s walls has eluded the public eye—until now. Vivid, salacious, and richly informed, this audiobook is a glittering tribute to Hollywood as seen from inside the walls of its most hallowed hotel.
The beach can be an introvert’s paradise (cue wave sounds), and such avid listeners will immediately connect with May Attaway, who is more at home with plants than people. When May is unexpectedly granted some leave from her job, she is inspired to reconnect with four once close friends. She knows they will never have a proper reunion, so she goes, one-by-one, to each of them. A student of the classics, May considers her journey a female Odyssey. What might the world have had if, instead of waiting, Penelope had set out on an adventure of her own? Listen to the audiobook that NPR calls, “Fun, hilarious, and extremely touching.”
