A Gentleman in Moscow
by Amor Towles
Amor Towles confines an aristocrat to a single hotel for the rest of his life and somehow writes one of the most expansive novels of the decade. A Gentleman in Moscow turns house arrest into a wry, deeply civilized meditation on how a person keeps their soul while the world outside is remade.
