Deb, I agree completely with your comment. I enjoyed every word of this book and will remember the Count forever.
I may read it again, because I felt as though I was there amongst all of the interesting characters in the hotel, so I'd like to go there again. :)
I tend to think that the inspector general was Osip because he quoted from Casablanca, "round up the usual suspects". But then again, where does Prince Petrov show up again?
There was a section previously about escape routes through the Black Sea area to turkey then to Portugal. The apple orchards were in this area. I choose to believe that he was traveling south and then to the West.
I agree with you Deb and your assessment is excellenet!
Well, yes. I was a beautiful ending, and nothing else was needed to complete the book. But it certainly is reasonable for us to wish he could be reunited with Sophia. Having that missing connection leaves a certain melancholy note to an otherwise perfectly satisfying finish.
Further evidence that they don't care to pursue the count: when Propp, the guy organizing the big dinner with Kruschev, met with the Count, the narrator indicates that Propp didn't know anything about him being a Former Person or that he was under house arrest. He is no longer relevant to the Kremlin.
