The Book Club book
On 21 June 1922, Count Alexander Rostov - recipient of the Order of Saint Andrew, member of the Jockey Club, Master of the Hunt - is sentenced to house arrest in the elegant Hotel Metropol. Considered an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count must now live in an attic room of the hotel while Russia undergoes decades of tremendous upheaval. How can a man so used to luxury live a rich and fulfilling life?
