Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

5.0

Perhaps it's my fondness for the era, perhaps it's my admiration for a strong female character, but I devoured this book. Felt sad when it ended, although it was structured so beautifully that it wrapped up just right. Katey Kontent is a 20something in 1930s New York City, caught between her own struggling working class life while being seduced into the grand life of society. New York is a magical creature in this novel, and it made me long to be whisked back in time.
