About this book
Sentenced to house arrest in 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is confined to Moscow's Metropol Hotel and moved from his suite to an attic room. Over three decades he builds a full life within its walls: friendships with a wilful child, an actress, a chef and a headwaiter, a job in the restaurant, and a quiet education in how to live when the world outside is remade by revolution. The tone is wry and civilised, the pace unhurried, the stakes domestic until history intrudes. A small world rendered with great affection and considerable elegance.
