«El hotel de Mrs. Palfrey» is the novel by Elizabeth Taylor, published by Libros Hércules in paperback, in Spanish.
An elderly widow, Laura Palfrey, moves to the Claremont Hotel in London, where she lives among other guests in an atmosphere of faded elegance. Her routine changes when she befriends a young writer; with humour and melancholy, the story explores old age, dignity and the weight of appearances.
The Spanish translation is by Clara Janés.
For readers of British fiction who appreciate character portraits and stories centred on human relationships.
