Description
Violet Epps is a formidable critic, but her personal life is a different story. When she visits the Algonquin Hotel, she hopes to find inspiration in the legendary dining room where Dorothy Parker and other famous writers of the 1920s once gathered. Instead, she's surprised by a mischievous ghost who's not ready to move on. Mrs. Parker, the feisty spirit of Dorothy Parker, becomes Violet's unlikely mentor and tormentor, helping her face her fears and find a new sense of purpose. As Violet navigates her complicated relationships with Mrs. Parker and her own life, she begins to uncover the secrets and struggles of the legendary writer. With Mrs. Parker's guidance, Violet learns to channel her own wit and strength, and discovers that sometimes, the best way to move forward is to confront the past. This book is a humorous and heartwarming exploration of the power of friendship and the enduring legacy of a literary icon.
