Operatic Divas and Naked Irishmen: An Innkeeper's Tale by Nancy R. Hinchliff
5.0
Moving into the hotel trade at any time is quite a feat, but at the age of 64 and in an unfamiliar city? Nancy Hinchliff regales the reader with the hilarious ups and dramatic downs as she turns a run down period house into a Victorian inn to be proud of. Nancy provides us with an honest, and undeniably charming, account of the struggles and triumphs of her time as an innkeeper. It is a revealingly personal account of what it took to get her business and her new home off the ground and ultimately how it enriched her life.
Each chapter recounts a different experience in her journey – hiring/firing/more hiring of staff, the demands of eccentric guests, and the occasional naked Irishman to spice up the mix – along with a delicious, related recipe. I’ll definitely be trying the Grand Marnier French Toast. Operatic Divas and Naked Irishmen: An Innkeeper’s Tale is an engrossing, warm and delightful read that I was reluctant to put down. An excellent book to lose yourself in.
