It's 462 pages but is a masterwork, really wonderful. The author is American but depicts real-life events and cultural human behaviors so well that it's effortless to read. If you want to dive into something for the summer, this is it.

I went to the library to get his first novel, "Rules of Civility" because I liked this one so much.
I read Rules of Civility first, then A Gentleman in Moscow. Enjoyed both of them very much! I hope Amor Towles keeps writing.
