A review by katrenia
Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel by Ruth Hogan
5.0
I love that this book alternates between Tilly/Tilda’s childhood and adult perspectives. Often what we think is truth as a kid is vastly different from reality. I got a kick out of Tilly’s singing all the wrong words to songs and what she heard and called things she didn’t understand. I hate the “too late” type of ending and that made me sad.
One thing that jumped out to me about the mom’s mental state was that she was put into a facility not long after she had Tilly. Could that have been postpartum depression? It was in an era where that was recognized or dealt with in a healthy fashion. Perhaps the way that was handled impacted her confidence and mental well being the rest of her life?
