Excellently written! Towles delivered this one with grace, wit, and such thoughtfulness to the nuances and daily pleasures of life despite one's circumstances.. "if a man does not master his circumstances then he is bound to be mastered by them." 

Highly recommend this heartwarming novel for anyone who wants to fall in love with the characters, root for their success, and learn about early 1900's Russian history along the way.
