Our new book, 'Ghosts of the Belle Époque: The History of the Grand Hôtel et des Palmes, Palermo', has just been released by Bloomsbury (I B Tauris Imprint). It includes everything from Anglo-Sicilian merchants, duels in the foyer, an addicted poet who committed suicide, an egotistical composer, the thoughts and visits of various writers, an occultist, army generals, corrupt politicians, mafiosi, film stars, opera divas, eccentric barons and much more... With bookshops currently shut, it can be ordered from any bookstore with an online retail presence or directly from Bloomsbury (who are currently offering discounts on their books to help people during the current lockdown): https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/ghosts-of-the-belle-epoque-9781838603885/
