A Gentleman in Moscow – Amor Towles

A life confined to one hotel can still contain an entire world.

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is sentenced to house arrest in Moscow’s Metropol Hotel. Stripped of his former privileges and moved to an attic room, he must build a new life while decades of change unfold beyond the doors.

Through unexpected friendships, small rituals and a young girl who transforms his outlook, Rostov discovers that a meaningful life is not measured by the freedom to travel. Amor Towles’s historical novel blends warmth, wit and an eye for the extraordinary within the everyday.

If you liked The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro or Still Life by Sarah Winman, you’ll enjoy this richly atmospheric story of resilience and human connection.
