The Bird Hotel

Joyce Maynard

Enter the magical world of La Llorona withNew York Timesbestselling author Joyce Maynard.

After a childhood filled with heartbreak, Irene, a talented artist,finds herself in a small Central American village where she checks into a beautiful but decaying lakefront hotel called La Llorona at the base of a volcano.

The Bird Hoteltells the story of this young American who, after suffering tragedy, restores and runsLa Llorona. Along the way we meet a rich assortment of characters who live in the village or come to stay at the hotel. With a mystery at its center and filled with warmth, drama, romance, humor, pop culture, and a little magical realism,The Bird Hotelhas all the hallmarks of a Joyce Maynard novel that have made her a leading voice of her generation.

The Bird Hotelis a big, sweeping story spanning four decades, offering lyricism as well as whimsy. While the worldNew York Timesbestselling authorJoyce Maynard brings to life on the page is rendered from her imagination, it's one informed by the more than twenty years of which she has spent a significant amount of her time in a small Mayan indigenous village in Guatemala.

As theNew York Timessaid, "[Maynard] has an unswerving eye, a sharply perked ear, and the ability to keep her readers hanging on her words."People Magazinesaid ofher: "Maynard's spare prose packs a rich emotional punch."
