The Accidental Hotelier by Bengt Mortstedt

Sale Price: £29.99 Original Price: £39.99

This warm, personal memoir tells the story of a quietly determined Swede in pursuit of an improbable dream.

Mortstedt writes of his journey to becoming a hotelier on a tiny Caribbean island with both wry humour and surprising insight and detail.

Pitfalls, setbacks and triumphs are all chronicled with a twinkle in the eye (and the occasional glint of steel!) while his overwhelming affection for the island of Bequia and its people, together with stories of the colourful cast of characters that have crossed his path, make for a charming, vivid and entertaining read.
