I have just reread A Gentleman in Moscow - the kindle edition - and enjoyed it. On the second reading I noticed the footnotes or comments, which I missed completely on the first reading. I am now trying to track these down because I think they will change the tone of the book. Could these notes be made easier to access and more obvious?

Dear Wendy,
First of all, thanks for reading A GENTLEMAN twice! In the printed text, the footnotes appear at the bottom of the page. Since there is no "bottom" of the page in Kindle, the footnotes appeared at the very end (you would have to click on the asterisk to take you there). As readers were missing them, I had kindle integrate the footnotes directly into the text in brackets.
Best,
AT

Not a question , just a thank you? I so loved A Gentleman in Moscow. Read it "by accident". I somehow clicked on this title by mistake and found it downloaded to my kindle. I knew nothing about the book or what a best seller it was. Figured I might as well read it since I now had it and within 20 pages I was hooked. What a happy mistake this turned out to be. Thank you for this wonderful , wonderful novel.

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!
