Rules of Civility
by Amor Towles
What a delight! I loved the recreation of 1930s New York City, the witty dialogue, the gorgeous writing.Class and money, guilt, love, how we are seduced away from our true natures--so much wisdom in this novel. I read sections out loud to my husband,including a description of autumn in New York. I was drawn in from the first page and couldn't read anything else for two days until I finished it. I loved Kate and Tinker and Eve.
"I knew too well the nature of life's distractions and enticements--how the piecemeal process of our hopes and ambitions commands our undivided attention, reshaping the ethereal into the tangible, and commitments into compromises."
