Ladies' night at Finbar's Hotel Book

This is the follow-up to Finbar's Hotel. The Hotel has now been renovated by a Dutch rock star and his Irish wife and a new set of seven Irish writers, all women, take up the mantle of creating a character for a room, while interweaving the characters from the other stories. Sadly these stories are just as depressing as the ones in the previous book, although there were a couple which caught my interest for a while and raised my hopes that I might be starting to enjoy the book. I really felt like I should be enjoying this read but in truth I dutifully ploughed through it and was glad to reach the end. Again, incredibly talented authors contributed to the book but it really didn't sit well with me.
