A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed “A Gentleman in Moscow”. This story had captivating characters and the writing was superb. The author’s descriptions were so vivid; reading became an experience for my senses. I could almost taste the food as I read. After the Russian revolution, the main character, the Count, is living in the Metropol hotel under house arrest, yet he manages to have such a full life. The Count lives through significant political and cultural changes in his beloved Russia, and yet he is able to remain positive and always a gentleman. This story is lengthy, at 480 pages, but the story never lags. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fiction.
