In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The story sucks you in. The prose is sharp and picture perfect. The characters are finely drawn. The twist at the end was both satisfying and bittersweet.
The performance was just right. It gave life and depth to Alexander Rostov.
In essence, this was a flawless experience.
I would recommend A Gentleman in Moscow to anyone.

Who exactly is Danziger? He's a writer of letters for illiterate immigrants on Manhattan's Lower East Side - "a steadfast practitioner of concealing and forgetting" for his clients, and perhaps for himself: He hints at a much worldlier past. What and whoever he really is or has been, he has a seemingly boundless knowledge of the city and its denizens. And he knows much more than the mere identity of the floating corpse.

I thoroughly enjoy Dan Fesperman's work. The Letter Writer continues his strong character and plot development. Further, we are treated to a vivid glimpse of a period of history and characters that populated that period.
