The New York Times Readers’ Choice: Best Books of the 21st Century
The mega-bestseller with over 2 million readers is now a Paramount+ Showtime series starring Ewan McGregor as Count Alexander Rostov
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of “Lincoln Highway” and “Table for Two,” comes a beautifully moving novel about a man ordered to spend the rest of his life in a luxury hotel
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov was deemed an unrepentant nobleman by a Bolshevik court and sentenced to house arrest in the Metropolitan Hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, a learned and witty tenacious man who has never worked a day in his life, must now live in an attic room while the most tumultuous decades in Russian history unfold outside the hotel doors. Unexpectedly, his situation leads him into a larger world of emotional discovery.
Filled with humor, a sparkling cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this unique novel follows the Count’s struggle to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose. Books have magic.
