I am currently reading "A Gentleman in Moscow."

[BlueMTexpat]

One sister recently visited and left a copy here for me with a strong recommendation to read. What a treat so far!

I'm not rushing through it because the writing itself is a joy and also provides some LOL moments. Which are much needed these days.

Apparently, it is soon to be a major TV series as well.

I never read Towles's first book "Rules of Civility" and now will certainly look to do so.

One reason perhaps that I am enjoying this so much is that I have also read the non-fiction "Marooned in Moscow" by the indomnitable Marguerite Harrison. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12682677-marooned-in-moscow

These days, with Putin's puppet infesting the WH and Russia's ongoing interference in our own elections, it is good to have some other perspectives of that fascinating country.
