Charming book, easy read
Great novel, ideal to read during lockdown as one can sympathise with the man who is in a similar but not quite situation (home arrest). You follow the main character's adjustment to the new Russian revolution coming from an aristocratic status. Illustrates well a political and cultural clash between old and new Russian society, whilst making you love the charming character. Good writing and easy to read.
