How did Amor Towles develop his penchant for elegant, ever so slightly flawed men, characterized so brilliantly that you have no choice but to fall in love with them.

I very much enjoyed this book. It is exceptionally well written, good character development, good plot, set in an interesting time pre World War II Manhattan and is a great take on social order, transparency and society.
