Have you read this book? Join us on Zoom for a lively discussion! The gentleman in Moscow is Count Alexander Rostov, who is sentenced in 1922 to indefinite house arrest in the attic of the Hotel Metropol as Russia convulses on every front. What could be another arduous Russian epic becomes, in the hands of Amor Towles, a rollicking read about the power of one person to restore order to chaos, humanity to insanity, and comedy to grief.
How do you share the truth when the world is in denial? Forgetting is how monsters return. Jam and her best friend, Redemption - like all children in Lucille - have grown up with the assurance that the city is safe for everyone because monsters don't exist anymore. Then, Jam meets Pet, a creature that emerged from one of Jam's mother's paintings to hunt a true monster. Pet senses something ominous lurking in Redemption's house. Jam must reconsider her upbringing when she sees that Pet is anything but monstrous. No one, though, has encountered monsters in years, and doubt thwarts Jam's quest to protect her best friend and uncover the truth.
