The novel explores the going-ons of expatriates in a hotel in Ceramos on the Turkish coast.[5] The characters in the novel are generally unlikable, and their foibles become the central focus of the novel's plot.[5][6] Settle wrote the novel after returning to West Virginia, from time abroad, first in England then Italy.[3]
ReceptionEdit
Though initial reception of the novel was less than positive, Settle won the National Book Award and critical consensus treats the novel as a turning point in her critical reception.[7]The New York Times was generally positive about the book, writing that Settle "has done a remarkable job of capturing the [expatriate] culture that is, in a sense, the most important character in her book."[5] George Garret in the Dictionary of Literary Biography called the novel "clearly a virtuoso work."[3]
