Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
“Something about the magical allure of Manhattan post depression, pre-war drew me in from the start.Towles presents a savvy,often tragic cast of characters on the verge of adulthood and sophistication. The book is full of great descriptive passages and witty dialogue. There is a lingering sense of melancholy (that I am always drawn to) and a longing for what might have been. The portrayal of coming of age in Manhattan society during an era of long gone glamor and romance makes Rules of Civility a captivating read.”
