Review: A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A book about a man living life to the full while under house arrest feels like pretty much essential reading in these times. Mind you, he does have the run of a posh hotel - so has a lot more space to kick about in than most of us at the moment.

Not too sure how tolerant I would be of the underlying message that friends and family that make our life rich rather than worldly experiences if I wasn't living in a lockdown situation. Not that it is a bad, or untrue, message, it is just that I suspect I would find it a bit simplistic if wasn't preoccupied by a pandemic. Do now feel the need to read something a bit more cynical.

But if you need a feel-good book to get you through not being able to leave the house, you could do worse than pick this up.
