A Small Hotel on an Isolated Island
About This Novel
Have you ever seen a hotel like this: It is not recorded in any travel guides, does not advertise in any travel agencies or social media, does not have its own website, can only accommodate up to five people at a time, can only stay for ten days at most, can only stay once in a lifetime, and can only book rooms through handwritten letters. On the first of every month, the Mermaid Hotel on the Mediterranean island of Gozo opens its blue wooden doors and receives five guests from all over the world who have never met each other - for example, a pair of twin sisters with different personalities, a chef facing major changes in his marriage and career, a handsome pilot who has lost his loved ones, and a reporter who comes to solve a certain mystery. Tamara and Dana are the owners of the hotel. They always say that after moving in, they spend three days crying, three days healing, three days having fun... And one day celebrating. They provide yoga, incense, and juice without residue, but they do not provide directions, strategies, and answers. Everyone who knocks on the door of the hotel must keep silent about what happens on the island and accept unknown risks. There is no yesterday or tomorrow here, only endless today, only now, and only the next moment.

Their ten days are also my ten days. Although I only spent three days reading this book, I gained ten days of reading. I have been very fulfilled these days. It seems that I have also gone through three days of healing, three days of celebration, three days of finding myself, and one day of carnival, and finally reluctant to leave. At the end, we are all grateful, grateful for the small hotel on the island, grateful for the song of time brought by the book, and grateful for the author's gratitude. Here, on this island, I also learned what happiness is - happiness is not the absence of troubles, but the ability to fight against troubles.
Relaxed and lively, suitable for vacation and also for people who live by the sea.
