A Gentleman in Moscow

This was one of the most satisfying novels I've read in a long time. Alexander Ilyich Rostov is a character that I would love to meet and befriend. Still, there is so much that speaks to me in this book. In the end, the message that really shines is to love the people you care about no matter the inconvenience, treat people with dignity even when they don't deserve it, and to learn to live life wherever one is or one's station.

Fantastic writing, characters, and story. Thank you Mr Towles for giving life to such wonderful characters in a fascinating, changing world.
