Fiction
In reply to the discussion: What Fiction are you reading this week, June 2, 2024 [View all]Srkdqltr
(9,060 posts)1. I've just been reading some British police things. Waiting for the next Jodi Taylor Time Police book on the 6th.
        I read A Gentleman In Moscow a while ago about a man sentenced to live the rest of his life in a hotel in Moscow.   It was sad but he made the best of it.  Well there is a TV series about it.  I watched part of the first episode.   It looks beautiful but I couldn't watch it all for the deliberate abuse the government heeped on him. 
I may try later episodes as some of the story in his later years was easier to read.
The book was really good.  Somehow watching it acted made it more real.
