A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles (2016, 480 pages) What a fantastic book. When I think about the joy I get from reading, it is experiences like the one I had with this book that I think of. I cherish this novel. It is one of those shout-it-from-the-rooftops, please-everyone-go-read-this-now kind of books. It is brimming with charm and class, yet not pretentious. The writing is simple yet elegant. It tells a story full of heart while effortlessly teaching history lessons. It presents characters you fall in love with and wish were real so you could be friends with them. One of the taglines that accompanies the book is "He can't leave. You won't want to." That's exactly how I felt!
