Nope, didn’t think I’d like this book despite all the 5 star reviews. By golly, they were right. The closest comparison I can think of is Alexander McCall Smith’s 44 Scotland series. Only this takes you from pre-revolutionary Russia up to the mid-1950s. And the story is told all from the point of view of a former aristocrat held in house arrest at a classy Moscow hotel. This turned out to be one of m favorite books, with a wonderful end, but not what I expected.
