Almost from the start, this charming adult fairy tale cast its spell on me, though the sentimentality was never overpowering. Like the bouillabaisse served by the Triumvirate, A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW has all the right ingredients: an original, engaging story; a colorful cast of characters; a sumptuous setting; beautiful prose; and moments of humor and wisdom, with dashes of Russian history and culture. It so pleased my literary palate, I just might go back for seconds.
