The first half of this book could have been condensed. It felt like it wandered aimlessly, which I’m guessing is the point - to mirror the Counts aimless existence. But I struggled to get into it. It really hit its stride halfway through and captured my attention and the climax was especially satisfying.
First half 1 star. Second half 4 stars.

É um livro perfeito, continente e conteúdo.
Foi um gosto viver exilada no Hotel Metropol com o Conde Aleksandr Rostov durante tantas décadas no ambiente pós revolução bolchevista.

Senti que também eu tinha a chave mestra daquele hotel; abri portas, adaptei-me às vicissitudes e alegrias e empolguei-me com o final. Outra coisa não esperaria deste nobre russo, que me emocionou com o seu amor à mãe Rússia e à sua capacidade de adaptação, qual Robinson Crusoé.

Num pequeno detalhe, somos totalmente distintos: eu sou mais frugal no que à comida diz respeito.

Recomendo a todos.
