Book
Discussed: A Gentleman in Moscow
A great day at
Celia’s for Roz’s first book club meeting.
As always good food, good wine, and good friends with special kudos for
the chowder and the chocolate cake.
Celia led the
discussion on Count Rostov’s life at the Hotel Metropole and how he did not let
the confinement of space limit his enjoyment of life. Celia felt the author emphasized that
manners, outlook and friends are important no matter your position in
life. The book was thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone. We loved the writing, the
humor, the descriptions, and the characters.
While we tried
not to give away the ending for those who had not yet finished, there were
questions on the whereabouts of the Count and Sofia as the book ends. Regrettably there was not just a bit more
about Sofia. Ann F – if you haven’t
finished the book yet you’ll be glad to know there’s a happy ending.
