As titles go, A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towels is about as much of an understatement as it gets. And yet, it is one of the most surprisingly fulfilling reads of my year. During the Russian Revolution, Count Alexander Rostov finds himself an aristocrat in a world where only the proletariat is legal. By the fluke of a poem, he narrowly avoids execution and is confined to house arrest in the Metropol, the hotel where he is living. He finds his world shrunken, his class diminished, his friends gone. And yet, as the world changes, Rostov is a gentleman, guided by a center that communists and small-minded bureaucrats cannot touch. As the years pass and the revolution and the world continue to change, from the passionate speeches and meetings of 1930s soviets to the violent turbulence of collectivization to the Cold War, Rostov remains within the Metropol, adapting, but unchanging, a gentleman through to the very end. I don't usually go in for historical fiction, but when Britt insisted that I read the copy she had from the library before the due date, I reluctantly started reading. It takes a good fifth of the book to hit its stride, and I wavered for a bit. But when it does, A Gentleman in Moscow becomes a warm and beautiful story. Amor Towles writes with foresight and depth, building a plot that continues to echo with themes of friendship, honor, and love. At times humorous and others poignant, I recommend it without reservation.
