Description
The Prince Rupert Hotel for the Homeless: A True Story of Love and Compassion Amid a Pandemic During the UK's Covid-19 lockdown, a four-star hotel faced an unexpected challenge. The British government's 'Everyone In' programme brought 33 rough sleepers into the hotel, offering them shelter and support. As a world-leading foreign correspondent, Christina Lamb chronicles the hotel's experience with these guests, many of whom were struggling with trauma, addiction, or mental illness. The story that unfolds is one of kindness, resilience, and the human spirit. Lamb's account is both heart-warming and heartbreaking, providing a poignant insight into modern Britain's failures and its people's capacity for compassion. With candour and empathy, she shares the hotel's journey, revealing the complexities of a world in crisis. This book offers a powerful and moving portrayal of a difficult time, and the ways in which people came together to support one another.
