Rules Of Civility by Amor Towles is the unforgettable debut by the
million-copy bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and The
Lincoln Highway In a New York City jazz bar on the last night of
1937, watching a quartet because she couldn't afford to see the
whole ensemble, there were certain things Katey Kontent knew: * how
to sneak into the cinema, and steal silk stockings from Bendel's *
how to type eighty words a minute, five thousand an hour, and nine
million a year * that if you can still lose yourself in a Dickens
novel then everything is going to be fine By the end of the year
she'll have learned: * how to live like a redhead and insist upon
the very best * that chance encounters can be fated, and the word
'yes' can be a poison * that riches can turn to rags in the trip of
a heartbeat . . . 'If the unthinkable happened and I could never
read another new work of fiction . . . I'd simply re-read this
sparkling, stylish book, with yet another round of martinis as dry
as the author's wit' Herald 'Terrific. A smart, witty, charming
dry-martini of a novel' David Nicholls, author of One Day 'Achingly
stylish . . . A witty, slick production, replete with dark
intrigue, period details, and a suitably Katharine Hepburn-like
heroine' Guardian 'A love letter to the city and the era . . .
Towles creates a narrative that sparkles with sentences so
beautiful you'll stop and re-read them' Stylist
