Rules of Civility
by Amor Towles
Set in 1930s New York, this is the story of Katey Kontent, a sophisticated, intelligent and witty young woman. In the span of one year, Katey’s life changes dramatically, starting on New Year’s Eve when she and her friend Eve have a chance meeting with a dashing young gentleman named Tinker. The fact that it’s set in New York gave me a little thrill as I recognized many of the locations that the characters mentioned. In addition, the glamour of that era really comes across the page. When I read about Katey and Eve’s adventures out on the town, I can’t help but wonder what it would have been like to be there with them.
