Bachelor Brother's Bed and Breakfast

by Barney Hoskyns

St. Martin's Press | August 15, 1997 | Trade Paperback

A pair of endearingly eccentric bachelors--in their fifties, and fraternal twins--own and operate a bed & breakfast establishment where people like them, the "gentle and bookish and ever so slightly confused," can feel at home. Hector and Virgil think of their B&B as a refuge, a retreat, a haven, where folks may bring their own books or peruse the brothers'' own substantial library. An antic blend of homespun and intellectual humor, Bachelor Brothers'' Bed and Breakfast is a place readers will want to return to again and again.
