From the bestselling, Booker-shortlisted writer of Italian Ways and
Europa, a classic novel about a man's emotional reckoning in a
changed world far from home Frank's reclusive existence in a leafy
part of London is shattered when he is summoned to Milan for the
funeral of an old friend. Preoccupied by this sudden intrusion of
his past, he flies, oblivious, into the epicentre of a crisis he
has barely registered on the news. It is spring, his luxury hotel
offers every imaginable comfort; perhaps he will be able to weather
the situation and return home unscathed? What Frank doesn't know is
that he's about to make a discovery that will change his heart and
his mind. The arresting new novel from Booker Prize-shortlisted Tim
Parks, Hotel Milano is a universal story from a unique moment in
recent history: a book about the kindness of strangers, and about a
complicated man who, faced with the possibility of saving a life,
must also take stock of his own. Praise for In Extremis: 'Parks's
prose brings us closer to the pressures and rhythms of a lived life
than the work of any other contemporary writer I can think of' Mike
McCormack, New Statesman Books of the Year 'Head and shoulders
above so many of the books turned out by similar writers... A
wonderfully written novel' Kirsty Gunn, Guardian 'Tim Parks is a
hugely talented writer' Sunday Times
