A review by juliaehill
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

5.0

I don't give 5 stars very often, but.this was a fantastic novel! I love being transported back to Russia by novels, and being circumscribed by the confines of the Metropol for several decades didn't feel like a constraint. The juicy gossip of the hotel denizens, the heartfelt stories of the Count making the most of his house arrest, and historical tidbits sprinkled throughout left me not wanting to put the book down. But it's long, so it took me a little while!
