A review by ivanbiber
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

5.0

I read this book during our city’s (and much of the country’s) stay at home order requiring restrictions on movement away from home to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and I approached it with trepidation. Was I prepared to read a book about a man who was required to live his live within the walls of one building? But after the rave reviews, I plunged ahead and was rewarded with a story of a man who thrived within his confines and who never seemed to be caged. A fitting lesson for these times and a very well written book.
