The Feast is by Margaret Kennedy. A classic historical fiction novel set in 1947 Cornwall, England. A small hotel is demolished by a landslide. As the funerals for the dead approach, a flashback tells the stories of the owners, workers, and guests of the hotel - both those who survived and those who did not. This book is a character study; there is not much "action," but it is still intense and thought-provoking. Each character's soul is revealed in this amazing novel.
Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10 - AC (some mature thematic content).
