A Gentleman in Moscow follows Count Alexander Rostov, an aristocrat sentenced by a Bolshevik tribunal to live the rest of his life under house arrest in the elegant Metropol Hotel. Instead of letting confinement shrink his world, Rostov discovers unexpected purpose, deep friendships, and quiet adventures within the hotel’s walls as Russia outside transforms through turbulent decades.
This novel is atmospheric, sophisticated, and emotionally rich — a story about dignity, resilience, and finding freedom in the smallest corners. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven narratives, beautiful writing, and immersive historical settings.
