Lulu

Lulu is a woman set in her convictions, from the end of her life all the way back to the beginning. When Lulu does not prefer to discuss something, it is off the table. When she does not want to do something, it is impossible. When she throws a party, everything is just so, down to the final detail. Her inn, The Rocks, is run with perfection and is known to cater to the customer’s every need. Lulu is the definition of style and grace, though she does not put much effort into beauty upkeep. When it comes to her history with Gerald, the reader is kept in suspense until the very end of the novel as to the nature of their failed marriage and the event that was at the heart of it.
