Following its successful debut, Tim Pilkington’s novel The White House Hotel is earning praise for its vivid storytelling and heartfelt portrayal of the people who shaped Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks during the Great Depression.
The novel takes readers into the lives of everyday Americans who find purpose and belonging through the doors of a small roadside hotel. With a cast of characters that includes a son of a Tulsa police officer, his Cherokee friend, craftspeople, and chefs, Pilkington builds a deeply human narrative of survival, hope, and the quiet heroism of community.
Early readers have congratulated The White House Hotel on its cinematic quality and deep richness of emotion. It has hailed it as "a moving slice of Americana," "a love letter to the spirit of ordinary people."
Now in hardcover, paperback, and e-book from major retailers, The White House Hotel has gained its readership among followers of historical fiction and literary realism.
