ange_adventures 's review for:
Rules of Civility
by Amor Towles
Captivating from the first
I was captivated by Katey and her willingness to admit how human she was. Towles' characters are certainly flawed but they are artfully and generously depicted. Even those who seemed at one moment like the villain turned out to be another character doing only what they knew to be the way to move forward. I will not soon forget my journey through 1938 New York.
I was considerably impressed by Towles ability to depict New York in the 1930s having previously read A Gentleman in Moscow and been astonished and enamored with Towles depiction of Russia.
