Read "A Gentleman in Moscow"

The date has changed to September 5, 2024. Same place, same time.
I apologize, but I've been sick this week and can't make it to the August 22 event. I have changed the date for 2 weeks out.
Our August read is "A Gentleman in Moscow" by Amor Towles. Amazon describes it as follows:

"From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Lincoln Highway and Table for Two, a beautifully transporting novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel.

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose."

This sounds like a great book. I look forward to seeing you all there!
