Last fall I spent two nights in the Catskills at an Ukrainian hotel. So that is why I wanted to read Last Summer At The Golden Hotel by Elyssa Friedland. Two families pooled their resources and built the Golden Hotel. The Goldmans and the Weingolds worked together to create a place that was a prime resort back in the 1940's and 1950's. They had musicians and movie stars perform for the guests. They had annual contests for the guests. The food and wine was excellent. Now the Golden Hotel needs work and half of the rooms remain empty. An offer has been made by a casino to buy the property. Each one of the Goldmans and Weingolds family, including the grandchildren, get to vote on whether to accept the offer. This was a very entertaining story with great dialogue and comedy.
