In LAST SUMMER AT GOLDEN HOTEL - acclaimed author Elyssa Friedland chronicles a family reunion for the ages when the Goldmans and the Weingolds convene for a long summer weekend at their beloved “Borscht Belt” getaway nestled in New York’s Catskill mountains. With the fate of their once-luxurious resort hanging in the balance, the boomer, millennial and greatest generations jockey for power.
In its heyday, The Golden Hotel was the crown jewel of the hotter-than-hot Catskills vacation scene. For more than 60 years, the Goldman and Weingold families - best friends and business partners - have presided over this glamorous getaway which served as a second home for well-heeled guests and celebrities. But the Catskills aren’t what they used to be - and neither is the relationship between the Goldmans and the Weingolds. As the facilities and management begin to age and 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.
About the author: The author of 4 novels, ELYSSA FRIEDLAND attended Yale University, where she currently teaches creative writing, and is a graduate of Columbia Law School. Her work has been published in The Washington Post, McSweeney’s, POPSUGAR, RealSimple.com, Bustle, Modern Bride, New York magazine, Columbia Journalism Review, CBS MarketWatch.com, Yale Alumni Magazine, and Your Prom.
