Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In 1916, the new Sunset Hotel is just what St. Petersburg, Florida, wants-a luxury hotel with a quiet, genteel atmosphere. The older, well-to-do clientele expect it to remain that way; but change, whether it is desired or not, is always inevitable. When Clara Loughlin arrives at the hotel it is obvious she is not the typical guest. The young newlywed believes in experiencing life and embracing new ideas. She happily watches as the serene, uneventful area around the hotel transforms into a place where people come for fun, excitement, and even illegal activities. Clara, who is anything but quiet and retiring, befriends tin can tourists, con artists, baseball players and gangsters. She frequents speakeasies and hangs out with bootleggers while she shares the history of St. Petersburg. Clara learns that change isn't always positive. She watches her beloved Sunset Hotel fight for survival through the Depression, World War II, neglect, and abuse. The building survives each challenge and Clara is elated when it finally takes on new life as the Crystal Bay Hotel. Clara, in her continuing watch over her treasured hotel, becomes the guest who refuses to leave. This item is printed on demand.
