What have YOU read and loved recently?

Amor Towles Carrie,
I loved Ann Patchett's THE DUTCH HOUSE.
If you follow me on instragram, you'll know that I love reading mystery and suspense in the summer and I just finished the Parker novels by the great Richard Stark.

Eugenio Gomez-acebo

Eugenio Gomez-acebo asked Amor Towles:

Mr. Towles, I enjoyed very much "A gentleman in Moscow". Is your Count Alexander Rostov inspired by Count Léon d'Algout, the wonderful character that seduces Ninotchka in the great Lubitch movie? As the film, your shares a funny and tragic description of the Comunist regime and its victims.

Cynthia asked Amor Towles:

I completely agree! The news is cutting off my oxygen. So I have returned to the Metropol for the 5th time. Again I am drenched in euphoria! Is there a man such as Alexander? Reflecting on your presentation at National Art's Club in 2017, I am convinced that it is you! If nothing else you have created an archetype that we all can strive to emulate! Thanks for this gem! You are saving me from despair!

Katie

Katie asked Amor Towles:

Hi! Really wanted to thank you for a Gentleman in Moscow- am not exaggerating when I say it really has changed our outlook on life and is beloved by both my husband and I. My question is a bit trivial: I'll be attempting the Bouillabaisse this weekend, and the Absinthe chapter is one of my favourites in the novel. I can't seem to find absinthe in any recipes of bouillabaisse- is there a story here?
