arahbee 's review for:
A Gentleman in Moscow
by Amor Towles
The best book I’ve read this year. I love the detail and the personalities. This is an era of history, or at least of Russian history that I really don’t know a lot about. I recently went to Cambodia and so I have recent memories from learning about what happened there similarly (and differently) in an effort to convert to a more communist or socialist state. This fiction was of course a very small window into it but it still touched upon several of aspects that I hadn’t considered before. I’m looking forward to reading more Russian literature and Russian/Soviet history soon.
