"A Gentleman in Moscow [by Amor Towles] immerses us in an elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count 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.”—description from the publisher. 

 We’ll be discussing this at the library and via Zoom on Thursday, May 30 at 7:15 PM.  Copies of the book are available at the library, and I’ll post the Zoom link a few days before our meeting.
