London, 2015. When reclusive art appraiser Eve Shaw shakes the hand of a silver-haired gentleman in her London office, the warmth of his palm sends a spark through her. His name is Max Everly - curiously, the same name as Eve's favourite composer, born one hundred sixteen years prior. And she can't shake the feeling that she's held his hand before - but where, and when? The White Octopus Hotel, 1935. Decades earlier, high in the snowy Swiss Alps, Eve and a young Max Everly wander the winding halls of the grand belle époque White Octopus Hotel, lost in time. Each of them has been through the trenches - Eve in a family accident and Max on the battlefields of the Great War - but for an impossible moment, love and healing are just a room away - if only they have the courage to step through the door.
