A review by anawalt
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

5.0

In my mind, “the book had been written with winter nights in mind. Without a doubt, it was a book for when the birds had flown south, the wood was stacked by the fireplace, and the fields were white with snow; that is, for when one had no desire to venture out and one’s friends had no desire to venture in.” (Quote within the book)

It is a slow read throughout, but one that wraps itself around your heart and settles comfortably in your soul. A life unfolds as the world outside continues to turn.
