Achingly stylish . . . [a] witty, slick production, replete with dark intrigue, period details, and a suitably Katharine Hepburn-like heroine

  1. 5/5 Paula

    An excellent book with an unexpected view into the recent past, and a lovely gesture towards George Washington.Excellent writing. Interesting characters, highly recommend this book! A good Book Club book.

  2. 4/5 Osquar A

    Har ännu inte hunnit läsa boken, men med tanke på hur dess mottagande varit känns det lugnt att rekommendera den. Towles andra bok - En gentleman i Moskva - är definitivt värd en rekommendation. Den är en sammanfattning av rysk historia från revolutionstiden och framåt som återges med mycket humor.

    Servicen från Bokus har fungerat snabbt och väl.
