Last Call at the Savoy

De: Brisa Carleton

Narrado por: Christine Lakin

Set amongst the glittering backdrop of London's iconic Savoy hotel, a young woman is forced to confront her troubled past as she uncovers the story of the hotel’s first female bartender who has been erased from the history books—"an exhilarating, tender read that will leave you smiling" (Fiona Jackson, bestselling author).

Six years ago, Cinnamon Scott was a young writer on the rise in New York City. But since the sudden loss of her parents, she's been stuck in place, retreating to a life of endless partying—made possible by the massive fortune she's inherited. Despite their tragic loss, she and her older sister Rosemary have always had each other to lean on. But now, with Rosie living in London and about to give birth to twins, Cinnamon feels more lost than ever.

When Rosie is put on bedrest, Cinnamon flies to her sister's side, where she's temporarily living at The Savoy. Immediately swept away by the beauty and history of the legendary hotel and its famed American Bar, Cinnamon finds ample opportunity to distract herself. When the late shift bartender tells her the story of Ada Coleman, the woman who crafted the cocktail recipes The Savoy popularized in its famous handbook a century ago, Cinnamon is inspired by the bartender's vivid stories of Ada's fearlessness and can't understand why Ada's name is nowhere to be found.

After meeting a handsome historian researching the hotel and realizing that Ada is likely to be once again overlooked, Cinnamon must decide if she can overcome her demons and stand up for Ada's story. And, along the way, she might just save her own story too.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Last Call at the Savoy is about women taking a rightful place in history—both those who have been omitted by the men who were writing it, and those who unwittingly have excised themselves with their own self-doubt. The true history of Ada Coleman—a real-life female bartender at the Savoy at the turn of the century—is only a silhouette, but Brisa Carleton has made it lush and three-dimensional—and relevant to ladies today who still fight to be seen. Lift a cocktail to this debut!”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Carleton beautifully pairs a lush, sophisticated setting with a heroine who is hilarious, complicated, and an absolute delight. I only wish I could’ve jumped into the story to join Cinnamon on her quest to uncover the truth behind the mysterious female bartender who ruled the Savoy’s watering hole during its heyday. Brimming with romance and fueled by cocktails and calamity, this is an exhilarating, tender read that will leave you smiling.”—Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Stolen Queen
