In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is sentenced to house arrest in Moscow’s grand Metropol Hotel. As decades pass, he witnesses history unfold from his attic room, forging unexpected friendships and finding purpose in the smallest moments. Towles’ exquisite prose paints a vivid portrait of Soviet-era Russia, while Rostov’s wit and resilience captivate. This enchanting tale of adaptability and human connection left me pondering the extraordinary within the ordinary long after I turned the final page.
If a man does not master his circumstances then he is bound to be mastered by them.
