Summary
Winner, PEN-Silver Pen Award and Cheltenham Prize

By turns a dream of electrifying eroticism recounted by a young woman to her analyst, Sigmund Freud, and a horrifying yet calmly unsensational narrative of the Holocaust, The White Hotel is now recognized as a modern classic that reconciles the nightmarish with the transcendent. (From the publisher.)
