A Gentleman in Moscow — On 21 June 1922 Count Alexander Rostov, once celebrated with the Order of Saint Andrew and a member of the Jockey Club, is escorted out of the Kremlin and into house arrest at the elegant Hotel Metropol. Deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count must trade his suite for an attic room while Russia undergoes decades of upheaval. Amor Towles spins a quiet, richly observed tale that asks: can a life without luxury be the richest of all? This novel is acclaimed for its atmospheric setting, elegant language, and profound reflections on time, friendship, and dignity.
Rules of Civility — Set in New York City on the last night of 1937, this novel follows Katey Kontent as she navigates jazz clubs, department stores, and the dizzying rise of a new social world. Skilled at typing and slipping into cinemas, Katey learns how chance encounters can shape a life — the price of saying “yes,” the fragile line between wealth and ruin, and the art of insisting on the very best. Towles captures the sparkle and danger of a bygone city with wit and compassion, making this an irresistible read for fans of sophisticated historical romance and social novels.
