A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, 462 pages.A really delightful book about the fictional Count Alexander Rostov who is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow. It's 1922 when the Bolshevik court hands down the sentence and the book follows Rostov over the coming decades. Rostov rescues young Nina, after her mother disappears. Rostov adapts to his circumstances, eventually becoming head waiter at the hotel's celebrated restaurant. Looking forward to discussing this book in next year's book group.
