  A Gentleman in Moscow: A Novel by Amor Towles - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan 
  (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.) 
  A novel about Count and how he was ordered to spend the rest of his life inside the walls of a luxury hotel. 
  In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov was condemned to spend the rest of his life in the Metropol, a luxurious hotel. A Gentleman in Moscow feels like an emotional trip, where we empathise with Alexander Rostov's situation. At first, we feel impotence, due to the fact that the protagonist is locked in an attic room while the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are passing outside of the hotel's walls. But that's just the beginning, the interest part is what happens next. 
  (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way) 
  "If a man does not master his circumstances then he is bound to be mastered by them." - Amor Towles 
  The second part of the emotional journey alongside Rostov is one that was generated due to the solitude of being locked away with nothing to do. It gave him time to look deep within himself and enter a state of emotional discovery, one that would change his life for good. Amor Towles did a masterful job of describing intangible things in the most accurate and humane way. 
  Filled with humor and an interesting cast of characters, dive into this unique novel that gives you a deeper understanding of what it means to be a person of purpose.
