<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Renting out his West London home in the wake of marital and career setbacks, an award-winning artist rediscovers his sense of purpose through relationships with a lonely American, a tortured fellow artist, and a cautiously optimistic divorcâee.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Get ready to smile....[A] sweet story and the perfect antidote to the chaos that's been 2021." -t<i>he Skimm </i><br><i><br></i>A deeply funny and shrewdly observed debut novel about being lost in the very place you know by heart.</b> <p/>Bennett Driscoll is a Turner Prize-nominated artist who was once a rising star. Now, at age fifty-five, his wife has left him, he hasn't sold a painting in two years, and his gallery wants to stop selling his work, claiming they'll have more value retrospectively...when he's dead. So, left with a large West London home and no income, he's forced to move into his artist's studio in the back garden and list his house on the popular vacation rental site, AirBed. <p/>A stranger now in his own home, with his daughter, Mia, off at art school, and any new relationships fizzling out at best, Bennett struggles to find purpose in his day-to-day. That all changes when three different guests--lonely American Alicia; tortured artist Emma; and cautiously optimistic divorcée Kirstie--unwittingly unlock the pieces of himself that have been lost to him for too long. <p/>Warm, witty, and utterly humane, <i>Super Host</i> offers a captivating portrait of middle age, relationships, and what it truly means to take a new chance at life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Super Host </i>isn't just a charming, compulsively readable, romantically suspenseful novel about a lonely man who gets himself emotionally enmeshed with a series of short-term tenants. Kate Russo's wise and funny debut also has a lot to say about the neighborhoods of London, the frustrations and satisfactions of making art, and the courage it takes to start over in the middle of your life. It's a joy from start to finish." <b>--Tom Perrotta</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kate Russo</b> grew up in Maine but now divides her time between there and the United Kingdom.
