Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
3.0

1930s Manhattan Comes alive in this Gorgeous Historical Fiction Novel

On New Year's Eve 1937, Katey Kontent and her roommate Eve Ross meet a handsome young banker named Tinker Grey. Over the next year, Katey's friendship with Tinker will introduce her to the upper echelons of Manhattan society, altering the course of her life. Despite its gorgeous prose and enveloping setting, I didn't love this one quite as much as I expected, feeling it lacked the spark of A Gentleman in Moscow. Don't let my 3.5 star rating fool you, Rules of Civility is certainly worth a place on your reading list.
