A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in Moscow is possibly the greatest book I've picked up on a whim. I'm incredibly interested in the period of time immediately after the Russian revolution, so the setting of this particular book jumped out at me when I discovered it on goodreads.

I adored Towles' writing style. It felt easygoing and I flew through the pages when I picked it up. It was the first book that prompted me to use the highlight function on my kindle. The style really felt as though the Count was telling this tale to me with all his eccentricities. He is the best character this year to date for me. I loved him from the first page and keep thinking of him when I'm not reading the book.

Pick this book up!
