Product Information

From the #1 New York Times -bestselling author of The Lincoln Highway and A Gentleman in Moscow , a "sharply stylish" ( Boston Globe ) book about a young woman in post-Depression era New York who suddenly finds herself thrust into high society--now with over one million readers worldwide On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society--where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve. With its sparkling depiction of New York's social strata, its intricate imagery and themes, and its immensely appealing characters, Rules of Civility won the hearts of readers and critics alike.

  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, 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." -

    Great book to read about life in New York City in the 1930's.

    I recently read A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW by Amor Towles. I was given to me by a friend, and I had doubts whether I would like it. I loved it so much I got on Ebay to see if they had a used copy of the paperback for sale. It was at a good price, and I received it sooner than was expected. RULES OF CIVILITY, the first book by the author, does not disappoint! Amor Towles is an excellent writer. The characters are well developed, the period is well represented.

    My new favorite author!

    Amor Towles has a unique talent, seldom seen in your typical novelist. His insightful descriptions, his select choice of words, and his complex plot lines are truly a refreshing joy. I wholeheartedly recommend this book, along with “Gentleman in Moscow”. Looking forward to reading his new “Lincoln Highway”!

    Story of Little Miss Perfect Moves up the New York Social Ladder

    Most of the novel was involved in describing with rapturous delight the material wonders of life in the NY upper social crust. The main character was not very interesting, never very well described, and not in the least bit sympathetic. The dialogue was way too clever and unnatural - everyone had a great quip and a quick comeback. There was also no "soul" there. While it could have been a contrast between values of the rich and the poor, it was not - the poor were just wanting and the rich just socialized ... except for one who went off to fight in a war.

    Lots of Small Characters Make A Good Story

    Good read, I am just getting into it! A young woman from the Midwest comes to New York in the late 1930s, looking for success and a possible love relationship. Aided by women of diverse ages and experience, she eventually gets involved with an older man who teaches her "the rules of civility."
