Sanctuary
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov, the main character in Amor Towles’ novel, found himself on the wrong end of the Bolshevik revolution. This educated, witty aristocrat was confined to house arrest in the Metropol Hotel across the street from the Kremlin. His world became an attic room during some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history. During this incarceration, he meets an actress, a shrewd politico, and a temperamental chef. Then fate puts the life of a precocious young girl in his hands. The novel cast a spell on Lisa and Kim when they read it. It will own you when you hear it in their dramatic presentation.
