This book read like a poem at parts. I childishly compare it to "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" only in early-to-mid-twentieth-century Russia, but I was surprised at how joyful this novel was. There is grief and sadness and plenty of political tension, but the microcosm of this hotel created such room for joy and laughter. Perhaps it moves alongside the heaviness of Russian history at the time, sometimes feeling like it sidesteps the tension. Though that is the perk of remaining within the hotel.
