I read this years ago but I just read it again. It is probably too slow for many, but I loved it. A romance novelist flies to Switzerland and is staying at a barely open hotel. She observes her fellow guests and ruminates on her life and wonders about theirs. It takes a while to find out what she is running from. This won the Booker Award in 1984 fighting off some stiff competition. Certainly a sad book in many ways but a thought examination about single women of an age.
