On 21 June 1922, Count Alexander Rostov - recipient of the Order of Saint Andrew, member of the Jockey Club, Master of the Hunt - is escorted out of the Kremlin, across Red Square and through the elegant revolving doors of the Hotel Metropol.
Deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count has been sentenced to house arrest indefinitely. But instead of his usual suite, he must now live in an attic room while Russia undergoes decades of tumultuous upheaval.
Can a life without luxury be the richest of all?

The narrator couldn't have been more perfect!
I can't tell you what a delight this book was! But I'll try. The story was absorbing, characters strong, and dialogue witty and thoughtful. Imagine hearing about what people are eating and drinking every day in a fancy hotel. Perfect food porn for the lockdown. I could just picture the rooms, the faces, and what people were wearing. There is enough action to make it a good candidate for a movie. A little mystery, too, until the end of the story explains all.
The narrator had that aristocratic drawl that the Count certainly would have had if he spoke English. Very even tempered, unflappable, no matter what happened, The Count is an example of how simple it is to always have good manners.
This book is one that will live in my imagination for a long while.

A wonderfully eloquent story
Not having read/listened to a book of this nature before, I was unsure if I would like it. I read the reviews and it piqued my interest.
I can honestly say I truly enjoyed this book. The author’s command of the English language, the ‘gentleman’ Count Rostov, the telling and the culmination of his story is well worth it and was only surpassed by the narrator. At times I wondered where the story was going to but I’m so glad I stuck with it. I believe you would be too.

Brilliantly written and cleverly executed.
Amor Towles I think will go down as one of the great writers of our time. Don't disappoint yourself by missing out on seeing his brilliance and mastery.
