On 21 June 1922, Count Alexander Rostov - recipient of the Order of Saint Andrew, member of the Jockey Club, Master of the Hunt - is escorted out of the Kremlin, across Red Square and through the elegant revolving doors of the Hotel Metropol.

Deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count has been sentenced to house arrest indefinitely. But instead of his usual suite, he must now live in an attic room while Russia undergoes decades of tumultuous upheaval.

Can a life without luxury be the richest of all?

Utterly beautiful and charming. Transported to the Metropol at the very first listen and gladly remained checked in for the entire duration. The Count and the entire cast of supporting characters are extremely endearing and memorable.

Just Lovely

First reaction I got as the book finally finished, was uff sooo long. At many points it was very gripping and at many others, downright boring. The author is absolutely brilliant but was probably drawn to the attraction of writing a classic. In the end I felt relieved that it was over. I can't deny the author and their narrator their due credit - well done! But to the author please consider the reader when you write. Every book is the baby of its author. Understandably no one wants to cut it. But in this book, it should have been. So often, I lost the plot and the characters, completely. If somebody presents you this book, do read it. But don't spend your own money to buy it and read it.

Too long and a mixed bag

It's the most delightful book I have ever read in my life. Dipped in joy from beginning to end.

Wonderful story .... it’s prose which flows like poetry. The story takes you back to the era it is set in, let’s you take in the sights and sounds of the times, offers ample reflection on the simple qualities which human relationships are all about, and rounds off with an ending the reader was ardently hoping for ..... Brilliant work of narration. Wish every story in this medium had narration of this quality !!
