![]() You still at least have the freedom of speech to complain about measures that can save someone’s life, comparing to the Count Alexander Rostov’s house arrest situation. It was a book that really should stop people complaining about the current social distancing situation with Covid. Without a doubt, it was a book for when the birds had flown south, the wood was stacked by the fireplace, and the fields were white with snow that is, for when one had no desire to venture out and one’s friends had no desire to venture in. If I was to describe this book in Amor Towles’s own word, it was a book that had been written with winter nights in mind. The title sounds boring, the synopsis is even more boring, what could it be that thousands of people place this to one of the top books of their reading chart? That was one of the reasons I picked it up to read. There are so many praises and good reviews for it already. ![]() I’m not sure where to begin with my review of this book. ![]()
