This week on Bookish Flights, I’m joined by New York Times bestselling author Natasha Lester to discuss her latest novel, The Chateau on Sunset, a feminist reimagining of Jane Eyre set within the legendary walls of the Chateau Marmont.
Natasha shares the fascinating history behind one of Hollywood’s most infamous hotels, where generations of actors, musicians, writers, and dreamers have lived, worked, and occasionally gotten into trouble. We talk about her research process, what it was like staying at the Chateau herself, and how the hotel's rich history inspired the atmosphere of the novel.
Episode Highlights:
The fascinating history of the Chateau Marmont and its connection to Hollywood legends and why it makes the perfect summer read
The enduring appeal of Gothic storytelling and Jane Eyre
The themes of ambition, identity, and independence woven throughout Natasha's novels
Why women should never feel the need to make themselves smaller to get ahead
