A Halloway Novel
The Jack Pine's Guest Book
Four cards from the drawer that never made it into the book.
The Jack Pine keeps a drawer of index cards, one per wedding night, going back to 1931 — and every couple who takes the standing rate is promised the same room at the same price for as long as they both live. These are four cards that never made it into the book, with the cake each couple wrote in pencil on the back.
