Zsófi Teleki
Zsófi Teleki asked Amor Towles:

I loved Rules of Civility, but I am having trouble with A Gentleman. Is this meant to be a fantasy? It certainly has no relation to reality, at least not in the beginning.

Amor Towles Zsofi,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the early pages of A GENTLEMAN. Did you persevere? I think you will find the journey worth while, particularly if you let the story reveal itself, rather than assuming in advance that it should be one thing or another.
Best,
AT
