A Gentleman in Moscow, Amor Towles

A Gentleman In Moscow:  A novel by Amor Towles is a book I found on a reading list or two.

Started: 11/14/2019
Completed: 11/21/2019
Recommendation: Highly Recommended
Recommended By:  A reading list

Review:

First and foremost:  Get the audio version of this book.  Nicholas Guy Smith simply does a fantastic job.

The story is fabulous and the prose is riveting.  I enjoyed almost every moment.  The plot is surprisingly good as well, perhaps, in part, to the deftness with which it is revealed.  Seemingly hidden in the skein, but present all along.  Really a great book.  I cannot say enough good things about it.

For what it is worth, it has little to do with Moscow while being distinctly about Russia.  It is so much more about friendship and family.
