The first in a nostalgic and heart-warming WWII saga series by bestselling author Maisie Thomas, that readers of Ellie Dean and Lesley Eames will love.Manchester, 1941 Kitty learned early on in her marriage that her husband, Bill Dunbar, isn't reliable with money. So when they inherit the Dunbar family hotel at the start of the war, she's hopeful that their financial worries are over... until the bailiffs turn up! With Bill now in the army, it's up to Kitty to turn things around for her family, or risk ruin. Lily worked as a chambermaid at Dunbar's before the war. She met Daniel there, but their relationship was complicated by class differences and the disapproval of Daniel's mother. Now Lily is pregnant - and with Daniel away at sea, she is all alone. When tragedy strikes, will Kitty and Dunbar's come to her rescue? Beatrice is in her forties, unmarried, and working in a job that exposes her to the harsh realities of poverty and sacrifice. She wonders whether the war might give her the opportunity to change lives for the better - including her own. But when she's accused of a crime she didn't commit, the future looks bleak... until Kitty makes a surprising suggestion. Can the community around Dunbar's hotel pull together and provide a beacon of hope and resilience, in the dark days of war?

A New Home at the Wartime Hotel by Maisie Thomas is an inspiring and heartwarming story. We are taken back to Manchester in 1941. I found the book to be easy to read. The characters are developed and realistic. The story is told from Kitty, Lily, and Beatrice�s point of view. I liked each of the ladies as well as some of the secondary ladies (I especially liked the lady with the hat with the large plume). Each of the main characters has gone through difficulties in their lives. I felt for each one of them. While the war is terrible, it may be a time for these ladies to shine. The author described the long queues the women had to wait in at each shop to get food (you had to go to the butcher, bakery, etc.). There was no guarantee that what they wanted would be available and food rationing regulations changed often (sometimes month to month). I cannot imagine having to endure the frequent bombings. You could return from the bomb shelter to find your home a pile of rubble. This is an emotional story. What I liked most of all was the friendships that developed between the women and how they supported each other. I am eager to read the next book in the Dunbar�s Hotel series.
