SEPTEMBER BUDDY READ
RULES OF CIVILITY BY AMOR TOWLES
This sophisticated and entertaining first novel presents the story of a young woman whose life is on the brink of transformation. On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society—where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve. With its sparkling depiction of New York’s social strata, its intricate imagery and themes, and its immensely appealing characters, Rules of Civility won the hearts of readers and critics alike.
I am in love and I’ve only read 56 pages!! I absolutely loved this author in our former read A Gentlemen in Moscow, I still miss those characters! Especially the main character The Count! That was back in February! I am amazed to be hooked so quickly by this novel, Rules of Civility, and can not wait to read this weeks section! The massive research and descriptions of the time is just amazing. I love this author and do hope he writes more!
Peace.
