A family reunion for the ages when two clans convene for the summer at their beloved getaway in the Catskills—perfect for fans of Dirty Dancing and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel—from the acclaimed author of The Floating Feldmans.

In its heyday, The Golden Hotel was the crown jewel of the hotter-than-hot Catskills vacation scene. For more than sixty years, the Goldman and Weingold families – best friends and business partners – have presided over this glamorous resort which served as a second home for well-heeled guests and celebrities. But the Catskills are not what they used to be – and neither is the relationship between the Goldmans and the Weingolds. As the facilities and management begin to fall apart, a tempting offer to sell forces the two families together again to make a heart-wrenching decision. Can they save their beloved Golden or is it too late?
Long-buried secrets emerge, new dramas and financial scandal erupt, and everyone from the traditional grandparents to the millennial grandchildren wants a say in the hotel’s future. Business and pleasure clash in this fast-paced, hilarious, nostalgia-filled story, where the hotel owners rediscover the magic of a bygone era of nonstop fun even as they grapple with what may be their last resort.

      Narrator Julia Whelan immerses listeners in the lives of three generations of the Goldman and Weingold families, co-owners of the fictional Golden Hotel in New York's Catskills region. With a steady pace, Whelan keeps listeners fully engaged throughout shifts in point of view and time period. Whelan seamlessly captures the emotional nuances of characters of varied ages and genders, with credible accents when warranted. She creates an absorbing portrait of the marital strife, romantic entanglements, parent-child tensions, financial difficulties, and other concerns of these family members. The inviting atmosphere of the Golden Hotel is illuminated through Whelan's depictions of its welcoming staff, abundant meals, and enjoyable leisure activities. An entertaining summer listen for fans of family sagas. M.J. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
