🥳 Happy National Book Lover’s Day from all of us at the Literacy Council! 📚 To celebrate, we have a book recommendation for you from one of our beloved volunteer coordinators, Lynn. She does an amazing job connecting Basic Literacy students with tutors in our Tutoring Program. She also teaches multiple ESL conversation classes in our Community Classes Program. 🤩 Thank you for all you do for the Literacy Council, Lynn! Here’s her ️🔥 hot take: “Hardly a well-kept secret, A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles has been hailed by authors, the media and the public. I liked it so much, I encouraged my husband to read it–not a step taken lightly. Our reading tastes do not often overlap. Thankfully, he liked it as much as I did. Despite the title, it is not a political book, although politics plays its role. It is poignant, funny, adventurous, interesting and touching. It celebrates the concept of old-fashioned civility and morality without being stuffy, pretentious, or boring. The plot is incidental to how the characters display (or fail to) their virtues. The book straddles the era from the pre-War world of class privilege to the modernizing Russia after the Communist revolution. The protagonist, Count Rostov, is heroic and yet humbly approachable. He is placed under “hotel arrest” by the new Bolshevik government and through his eyes we get to view the many diverse residents of a once-fashionable resort destination. There are no angels or devils, but rather individuals just trying to live the best life they can. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.” #LiteracyLiftsLives #bookrecommendation #summerreading #Fredericknonprofit #agentlemaninmoscow #amortowles #nationalbookloversday #FrederickMD
