A Gentleman in Moscow

Count Alexander Rostov is sentenced to house arrest at an elite hotel in Russia after been condemned as an unrepentant aristocrat by the Bolsheviks. And so the hotel and its inhabitants become his life, and an outsider might be saddened for the constriction Rostov must suffer. But Rostov is a gentleman, and as a gentleman, he has been taught from birth how to live a noble life, and, constrained or not, it is a noble life that Rostov lives.

I fell in love with this man, with the grace he bestows upon his friends and his enemies alike. It's a lovely story filled with little moments of love and mystery and intrigue, with little sides of wisdom and brilliance from a gentleman in Moscow.
