"A Gentleman in Moscow"

Thoroughly delightful book. I revolves a Russian Count who is placed under house arrest in a luxurious hotel in downtown Moscow, just after the Russian Revolution. At first he resides in a large suite but is soon banished into a closet-sized room in the attic of the hotel. He reminisces about his days on the family estate, painting a beautiful picture of pre-revolutionary Russia. The Count  befriends a young girl and the two of them explore the hotel together. As the story progresses, various friends stop by and they share stories of their times together. It's one of those charming books you just don't want to end.
