A Gentleman in Moscow

I thoroughly enjoyed this read, though it did read more slowly than I would have liked. It's a detail-rich story with Russian history in footnotes thrown in and a LOT of Slavic names, so I had to constantly turn back to previous chapters to remember characters. BUT - it was a lovely chronicle of one man's house arrest in a luxury Moscow hotel, from the Revolution up through the Cold War. It seemed that the smaller his world got, the more it opened up, as he discovered more and more about himself, his friends - both old and new - and Russia as it changed.
