Title: A Gentleman In Moscow by Amar Towles

Book Beginning:

Friday 56 (or whatever page, I don't know):

Comments: I just started this book today in the audio format so I had to grab the quotes from a preview of the book, which was unpaged, so I have no idea where the Friday 56 quote comes from...probably closer to page 30. I am really enjoying the book so far. The language is simply gorgeous. In the top quote Count Rostov is going before the country's leadership and they are taking his freedom away and putting him on house arrest in a hotel. In the second quote, he has to move out of his suite into a very small room so he has to cull down his personal objects and say goodbye to them.
