Hotel du Lac is the story of Edith Hope, a romance writer banished by her circle of friends to the title location, a hotel on Lake Geneva. Edith has left her life in a shambles after a disastrous affair. At the hotel she carefully considers her future and her conception of herself, determined not to let peer pressure drive her to change. She flirts with the idea of a relationship with the handsome Mr. Neville, another guest, but ultimately rejects it and strikes out on her own.
