The Passion Flower Hotel is a novel by Rosalind Erskine (real name Roger Erskine Longrigg). It was published by Jonathan Cape in 1962. The story concerns a young girl going to an English girls' boarding school. In the dormitory, the girls discuss losing their virginity and decide that the best way is to set up a "service" for the local boys' school situated across the lake from them. The subject is treated in a light manner.[1][2]
A sequel, Passion Flowers in Italy, was published by Simon & Schuster in 1964,[3] and a third title, Passion Flowers in Business in 1965.
A film loosely based on the story was made in 1978 in German under the title of Leidenschaftliche Blümchen starring Nastassja Kinski. A dubbed version was released in English under the title Passion Flower Hotel.[4]
