WINNER OF THE 1970 BOOKER PRIZE 'And so at the Majestic everything
returned to the way it had been before. The gleaming tiles became
dulled. Sofas as sleek as prize cattle lost their glow.' 1919, the
Majestic Hotel in Kinalough, Ireland. Haunted war veteran Major
Brendan Archer arrives to marry Angela Spencer, daughter of the
house. But his fiancee is strangely altered, and her family's
fortunes have suffered a spectacular decline. The hotel's hundreds
of rooms are disintegrating; its few remaining guests thrive on
rumours and games of whist; herds of cats have taken over the
Imperial Bar; bamboo shoots threaten the foundations; and piglets
frolic in the squash court. And outside the order of the British
Empire totters, as the violence of 'the troubles' mounts. 'A work
of genius' Guardian
