A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles? Because, Wow!
Holy War & Peace, northoftheborder! What a terrific find, which may be of particular interest to those of us following along with the daily War and Peace blog (mentioned down-thread).
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. He must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors.
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
