Tilly was a bright, outgoing little girl who liked playing with ghosts and matches. She loved fizzy drinks, swear words, fish fingers and Catholic churches, but most of all she loved living in Brighton in Queenie Malone's magnificent Paradise Hotel with its endearing and loving family of misfits. But Tilly's childhood was shattered when her mother sent her away from the only home she'd ever loved to boarding school with little explanation and no warning.

Now an adult, Tilda has grown into an independent woman still damaged by her mother's unaccountable cruelty. Wary of people, her only friend is her dog, Eli. But when her mother dies, Tilda returns to Brighton and with the help of her beloved Queenie sets about unravelling the mystery of her exile from The Paradise Hotel, only to discover that her mother was not the woman she thought she knew at all ...

Mothers and daughters ... their story can be complicated ... but it can also turn out to have a happy ending.

“Exuberant and full of zest - Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel is divine -- Nina Pottell”

During the dark, dreary days of winter, a new Ruth Hogan novel is as delightful as the first hints of spring. Hogan writes entirely hopeful fiction, full of warmth, humour and tenderness and even though her appealing and endearing characters are often caught in a maelstrom of difficult emotions, there is always a sense that love endures, despite all else.... As lovely as a burst of bright bluebells. - Sunday Express

Full of Hogan's trademark technicolor characters; it's also reminiscent of The Trouble With Goats and Sheep. - Daily Mail

Hogan has a reputation for eccentric characters, hints of the supernatural and the power of unexpected friendships. Here, she combines all these with a moving exploration of the complex relationship between mothers and daughters. - Observer

Beautifully written . . . an intricate and moving study in complex family relationships. - Daily Express

This book really shines . . . laugh-out-loud funny. - Stylist

With its enchanting characters, this is a divine read. - Prima

A poignant tale of love and family - Good Housekeeping

A tender tale - Woman & Home
