A review by laura_corsi
Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

3.0

The descriptive writing is amazing! Amor Towles effectively puts the reader smack in the middle of 1938 New York with its jazz clubs and horse races and swanky parties just outside the city. Katey Konstant is an up and coming girl from the not right part of town. She is basically alone in the world and is attempting to make her way. As she makes her way, she mixes with all sorts and she begins to understand what it is that she wants and how she can get it.
This is Amor Towles first effort and it is very good. I’ve heard even better things of his next one. Looking forward to checking out A Gentleman in Moscow!!
