description: After a tragic fire in 1922 that killed 19-year-old chambermaid Grace Hadley The Hotel Nantucket descended from a gilded age gem to a mediocre budget-friendly lodge to inevitably an abandoned eyesore  until it's purchased and renovated top to bottom by London billionaire Xavier Darling. Xavier hires Nantucket sweetheart Lizbet Keaton as his general manager and Lizbet in turn pulls together a charismatic if inexperienced staff who share the vision of turning the fate of the hotel around. They face challenges in getting along with one another (and with the guests) in overcoming the hotel's bad reputation and in surviving the (mostly) harmless shenanigans of Grace Hadley herself  who won't stop haunting the hotel until her murder is acknowledged. Filled with the emotional tension and multiple points of view that characterize Elin's books (The Blue Bistro Golden Girl) as well as an added touch of historical reality Hotel Nantucket offers something for everyone in this summer drama for the ages.
