_________________________
On 21 June 1922, Count Alexander Rostov – recipient of the Order of Saint Andrew, member of the Jockey Club, Master of the Hunt – is escorted out of the Kremlin, across Red Square and through the elegant revolving doors of the Hotel Metropol.
Deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count has been sentenced to house arrest indefinitely. But instead of his usual suite, he must now live in an attic room while Russia undergoes decades of tumultuous upheaval.
Can a life without luxury be the richest of all?

Customers say

Customers find this book to be a brilliant read with beautiful flowing language and a poignant look at a life lived fully. Moreover, the writing is highly sophisticated, with one customer noting delightful ways of describing simple things, and customers appreciate the wonderful characters and engaging style. However, the pacing receives mixed reviews, with some finding it superbly paced while others say it’s a bit slowish in the beginning.
