I'm the type who always has a book in her bag ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ‘œ

And y'all...this book is so good.

I really don't want to put it down, but I have had so much to do (with packing and all), I haven't progressed with it as fast as I normally would have.

It's about a Count in Russia ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ in the 1920s who is sentenced to house arrest in a small room in the Metropol Hotel. He is only allowed to the hotel restaurant to dine. He is not allowed outside. His crime? Writing and publishing a poem that the Bolshevik tribunal found "offensive" (because it implied dissent against the tyranny).

The language is so poetic, and the descriptions are so colorful I actually can see all of the Russian Red Square in my mind. I love this book!!! ๐Ÿ˜€
