Sophie might be a bit quick to judge people, but perhaps it is just the prerogative of her age to find out that not everybody is what they seem to be at a first glance. Some of them are nice and warm-hearted (or rather that's what Sophie thinks) or.the opposite. If you are not a fan of love triangles, I've got bad news for you as not only Ben, but also another mysterious, but utterly gorgeous hotel guest falls in love with Sophie. On the other hand, he feels he will never be free to make his own choices in life. On one hand, he has grown up in it and has known most of the staff since he was a toddler. Ben still needs to figure out his feelings towards the old hotel.
Sophie's also very independent and doesn't give in to peer pressure.īen Monfort is the the son of one of the hotel owners and is also working there for free during his winter holidays.
She also gives milkroll crumbs to seven little jackdaws who coo outside the window of her tiny room. She's always smiling (maybe a bit too much) and has even occasionally burst into a song in the laundry room. Sophie's a lovely girl with her own particular brand of humour. Sophie is learning and trying out various jobs and tasks hotel staff do: she has been a chambermaid, learnt ins and outs of running the laundryroom equipment, worked as the hotel spa assistant and baby-sitter. She is trying to find her own place in the world, however different it might be from her mother expectations and her friends' chosen lifepaths. Seventeen year old Sophie Spark is a high school dropout who is working as an intern in a luxury hotel. This was a perfect winter read! The book is set in a beautiful hotel up in the Swiss Alps, while the main events take place between Christmas and New Year's Day, so I couldn't have asked for a more atmospheric YA book on this January morning.
