On 21 June 1922, Count Alexander Rostov - recipient of the Order of Saint Andrew, member of the Jockey Club, Master of the Hunt - is escorted out of the Kremlin, across Red Square and through the elegant revolving doors of the Hotel Metropol. Deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count has been sentenced to house arrest indefinitely. But instead of his usual suite, he must now live in an attic room while Russia undergoes decades of tumultuous upheaval. Can a life without luxury be the richest of all?
I highly recommend this book! I couldn't put it down. A very enjoyable read.
I love the characters in this book, I felt like I was invested in their lives.
I missed them very much and quickly ordered the next book when I'd finished it.
This is a really easy to learn and fun game suitable for all ages. I love playing it with my 10 year old as it is quick yet not too fast paced. It feels like much more civilised game than many other contemporary games.
Beautiful book of Poems Uncle Wes Marne was a very remarkable man selflessly sharing his Aboriginal culture
Lots of info about consumption of clothing and new innovations to cut down on waste.
