A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
5.0
I wasn't sure what to expect before getting into this book. I was wondering if it would be more philosophical or a story about a man relentlessly trying to escape his improsonment. It was so much more and so much better.
At first, it was hard to get in, it was slow and a bit confusing. Rostov met a great variety of people whose impact on the story was confusing and left a lot of unanswered questions. Despite this, the story slowly but surely embraced you and made you appreciate the details, the lovely descriptions and Rostov himself.
Although the hotel is one building, it became a whole journey and a fulfilling life for our main character. And the ending made my heart flutter. So beautiful, so ethereal, so comforting.
