August 26, 2018 Meeting at Celia's


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.
