A review by leslielu67
The Paragon Hotel by Lyndsay Faye

2.0

Two stars for setting and starting every chapter with a letter or clipping from an Oregon newspaper revealing its racist origins and inhabitants. Demerits for “ever so” dramatic and breathy prose and narration and unlikely dialogue. Demerit for nickname “Nobody”. Demerit for the newcomer to Portland making reference to Mt Ranier after only a week in town.
