Terrific!! Amazing!! One of the best novels I have read recently. Count Alexander Rostov is made a non-person for the sin of being an aristocrat in the early days after the Russian revolution. Instead of being shot he is confined to the Metropol hotel for the rest of his life. The author educates us in Russian literature and politics in such a palatable manner that you do not even realize how much you are learning. As the count lives out his life in one building he expands his experiences and loyalties to friends and children so that his existence becomes so full that the confinement almost disappears. The author is superb at creating characters !! Highly recommend!!! Kristi & Abby Tabby
