Melody asked Amor Towles:

I have been reading with great enjoyment all weekend. Even though I'm not finished, I can truly say, this is a thoroughly enjoyable book. One question comes to mind. I noted that the adolescent in the kitchen was named Ilya & the name of Audrey's son who was killed in the Battle of Berlin, was given the same first name. When there are so many first names to choose from, what made you decide on using the same name?

Amor Towles I don't think I've ever noticed that!
