He canâ‚¬t leave his hotel. You wonâ‚¬t want to.
Â
From theÂ New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ Rules of Civilityâ‚¬"a transporting novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotelÂ

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and 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 hotelâ‚¬s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the countâ‚¬s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.

â‚¬Å“And the intrigue! â‚¬Â¦ [A Gentleman in Moscow] is laced with sparkling threads (they will tie up) and tokens (they will matter): special keys, secret compartments, gold coins, vials of coveted liquid, old-fashioned pistols, duels and scars, hidden assignations (discreet and smoky), stolen passports, a ruby necklace, mysterious letters on elegant hotel stationeryâ‚¬Â¦ a luscious stage set, backdrop for a downright Casablanca-like drama.â‚¬Â â‚¬â€œThe San Francisco Chronicle
