I enjoyed the story, characters, and cultural immersion into a "slice of life" of this interesting time in our history. Towles experimented with shifting first-person narration among the characters so that we can get into their internal dialog, values, and attitudes. This technique has drawbacks but enhances the reader's immersion into the story. I think Gentleman in Moscow is better but I really love this one as well. 5/5 Stars.
