Evening Book Discussion

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

This adult book discussion group reads fiction and nonfiction books over the course of a month and then discusses those titles at monthly meetings.

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

Books will be available at the checkout desk one month in advance.
