Reviews
Praise for Rules of Civility "An irresistible and astonishingly assured debut about working class-women and world-weary WASPs in 1930s New York...in the crisp, noirish prose of the era, Towles portrays complex relationships in a city that is at once melting pot and elitist enclave - and a thoroughly modern heroine who fearlessly claims her place in it." -- O, the Oprah Magazine "With this snappy period piece, Towles resurrects the cinematic black-and-white Manhattan of the golden age...[his] characters are youthful Americans in tricky times, trying to create authentic lives." -- The New York Times Book Review "This very good first novel about striving and surviving in Depression-era Manhattan deserves attention...The great strength of Rules of Civility is in the sharp, sure-handed evocation of Manhattan in the late '30s." -- Wall Street Journal "Put on some Billie Holiday, pour a dry martini and immerse yourself in the eventful life of Katey Kontent...[Towles] clearly knows the privileged world he's writing about, as well as the vivid, sometimes reckless characters who inhabit it." -- People "[A] wonderful debut novel...Towles [plays] with some of the great themes of love and class, luck and fated encounters that animated Wharton's novels." -- The Chicago Tribune "Glittering...filled with snappy dialogue, sharp observations and an array of terrifically drawn characters...Towles writes with grace and verve about the mores and manners of a society on the cusp of radical change." --NPR.org "Glamorous Gotham in one to relish...a book that enchants on first reading and only improves on the second." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer, "Marvelous." -- Chicago Tribune "The novel buzzes with the energy of numerous adventures, love affairs, twists of fate and silly antics." -- The Wall Street Journal "A winning, stylish novel." --NPR.org "Enjoyable, elegant." -- Seattle Times "The perfect book to curl up with while the world goes by outside your window." --Refinery29 "Who will save Rostov from the intrusions of state if not the seamstresses, chefs, bartenders and doormen? In the end, Towles's greatest narrative effect is not the moments of wonder and synchronicity but the generous transformation of these peripheral workers, over the course of decades, into confidants, equals and, finally, friends. With them around, a life sentence in these gilded halls might make Rostov the luckiest man in Russia." -- The New York Times Book Review "This is an old fashioned sort of romance, filled with delicious detail. Save this precious book for times you really, really want to escape reality." --Louise Erdrich "Towles gets good mileage from the considerable charm of his protagonist and the peculiar world he inhabits." -- The New Yorker "Irresistible . . . In his second elegant period piece, Towles continues to explore the question of how a person can lead an authentic life in a time when mere survival is a feat in itself . . . Towles's tale, as lavishly filigreed as a Fabergé egg, gleams with nostalgia for the golden age of Tolstoy and Turgenev." -- O, The Oprah Magazine "'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and 'Eloise' meets all the Bond villains." --TheSkimm "The same gorgeous, layered richness that marked Towles' debut, Rules of Civility , shapes [ A Gentleman in Moscow ]." -- Entertainment Weekly Praise for Rules of Civility "An irresistible and astonishingly assured debut." -- O, the Oprah Magazine "With this snappy period piece, Towles resurrects the cinematic black-and-white Manhattan of the golden age...[his] characters are youthful Americans in tricky times, trying to create authentic lives." -- The New York Times Book Review "Sharp [and] sure-handed." -- Wall Street Journal "Put on some Billie Holiday, pour a dry martini and immerse yourself in the eventful life of Katey Kontent." -- People "[A] wonderful debut novel." -- The Chicago Tribune "Glittering...filled with snappy dialogue, sharp observations and an array of terrifically drawn characters...Towles writes with grace and verve about the mores and manners of a society on the cusp of radical change." --NPR.org "A book that enchants on first reading and only improves on the second." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer, Praise for  Rules of Civility "An irresistible and astonishingly assured debut about working class-women and world-weary WASPs in 1930s New York...in the crisp, noirish prose of the era, Towles portrays complex relationships in a city that is at once melting pot and elitist enclave - and a thoroughly modern heroine who fearlessly claims her place in it."  -- O, the Oprah Magazine "With this snappy period piece, Towles resurrects the cinematic black-and-white Manhattan of the golden age...[his] characters are youthful Americans in tricky times, trying to create authentic lives."  -- The New York Times Book Review "This very good first novel about striving and surviving in Depression-era Manhattan deserves attention...The great strength of  Rules of Civility  is in the sharp, sure-handed evocation of Manhattan in the late '30s."  -- Wall Street Journal "Put on some Billie Holiday, pour a dry martini and immerse yourself in the eventful life of Katey Kontent...[Towles] clearly knows the privileged world he's writing about, as well as the vivid, sometimes reckless characters who inhabit it." -- People "[A] wonderful debut novel...Towles [plays] with some of the great themes of love and class, luck and fated encounters that animated Wharton's novels."  -- The Chicago Tribune "Glittering...filled with snappy dialogue, sharp observations and an array of terrifically drawn characters...Towles writes with grace and verve about the mores and manners of a society on the cusp of radical change."  --NPR.org   "Glamorous Gotham in one to relish...a book that enchants on first reading and only improves on the second."  -- The Philadelphia Inquirer, "The book is like a salve.

    Sorry this book ended, hated to part with the characters.

    I wanted this book to go on and on. I looked forward to having 20 minutes while my soup was simmering so I could go back to this story. It really wasn't as much of a compelling story line as it was of the intricate characters and their positive attitudes of accepting the things that they were faced with. The main character in the Gentleman in Moscow book, was truly a gentleman, who was a wealthy aristocrat but sentenced to life imprisonment... in a hotel. He met several people throughout his 30 years behind "bars". This is the story of those relationships. I know, it doesn't sound like much of a story, and there really isn't that great of a story line, but it is a wonderful book. I was on a 2 month wait list at the library and ended up buying the book after I read it!

    A great read!

    This book is an amazing venture into Russian history and culture following the revolution in the early 1900s. The author displays an amazing knowledge of the times, and daily activities of the common Russian citizen, as well as those who rise in power after the revolution. Very interesting dialog and descriptive.

    Buy this book. You will thank me.

    This author is one of the best I’ve encountered in years. Nearly every page contains a gem that makes me either laugh out loud, or shake my head in wonder at his literary skill. I’m reading very slowly because I don’t want it to end!

    Great story

    Read Towles’ “Rules of Civility” and like this one even better. Set in post-Revolution Russia, a feisty aristocrat is “condemned” by the Bolsheviks to spend the rest of his life in the Metropol Hotel. And, not in his luxury suite, but in one room in the attic. If he leaves the hotel at any time, he will be shot! How he creates a new life for himself makes for a fascinating read.

    A Beautifully Crafted Novel

    I am reading this now and the further I get the more I appreciate the crafting it took to put this together It is set in Moscow after the Red Revolution and shows both the old Russia and the 'Brave New (Bolshevik) World" - using the "Count" as the seemingly perfect adaptable man. The visions of old but new then Post-Revolution days - and even the older Russian Empire - fill your head as you read. The writer must have lived in those times, you will think, but of course that cannot be true.
