A Gentleman in Moscow

3.75 out of 5 stars

This was a beautifully written novel that deserves to have each sentence savored. Amor Towles writes about the mundanities of life in such an engrossing way that I found myself more enamored with these minor passages than the bigger story being told. It sags in the middle a bit and having 100 pages or so trimmed off would likely have improved my overall rating.
