A Gentleman in Moscow

A Gentleman in MoscowA Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

My impression - no story about nobody.
One of the first lines characterizes him well - Asked to state his occupation, he replies, “It is not the business of a gentleman to have occupations.”
Sentenced by Soviet regime to idle life in the hotel, he lives idly and on random occasions shows his "class". End of story.
Sorry (relief for me), I put the book away after some 45 pages.
