I finally got around to this highly recommended book, but not sure if I hadn’t. There are undeniably charming passages—like the absurdity of the Bolsheviks removing the wine labels, or the funny game of 'Zut'—but ultimately, this felt like a very long fable that overstayed its welcome. The historical reality is softened too much for my taste (the Soviet repression feels cartoonish), and the plot relies on endless convenient coincidences to save the characters. I had real difficulty finishing the page count, which felt even more infinite than the stash of golden coins always within the main character's reach.

Me encantó. Las relaciones entre los personajes, lo que ocurre en Moscú a lo largo de los años, todo sin salir de un hotel. Muy agradable para leer.
