Cammie's Reviews > A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in Moscow is so beautifully written with amazing characters and details. It's not a quick read and takes time and patience to follow and appreciate.
The fact that the entire story (mostly) takes place in the Metropol hotel is so remarkable; I found myself forgetting this fact from time to time. The Metropol is a microcosm of the world during Rostov's life there.
The many people that the Count encounters, befriends, protects, and loves are so real and detailed that they become primary to the novel, not just supporting actors.
While there were parts of the story that were not as engaging (Russian history, for one), the Count's life in exile within the Metropol was nothing short of entertaining.
