A Gentleman in Moscow By Amor Towles

Sentenced to house arrest in 1922 in the Metropole Hotel for writing a poem deemed to encourage revolt, Count Alexander

Ilyich Rostov finds himself ensconced in a tiny room. Although he can move around in the luxury hotel, Rostov lives in the circumstances of a “former person”. Spread across four decades it is in all ways a great novel brimming with charm, personal wisdom, and philosophical insight.This is a book in which the cruelties of this age can’t begin to erase the glories of real human connection and the memories it leaves behind.
