Small Hours at the Orchard Hotel

by Jun Takeda

A night porter at a fading mountain hotel notices that the guest in room 14 never checks out. Over one long winter, the staff build a life around an empty bed.

Takeda’s translated debut is gentle, funny and quietly devastating. Our book club pick for October.
