Reviews

Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

Rules of Civility

by Amor Towles

Viking

If only there were more novels like this.

Rules of Civility, a novel of New York in 1938, satisfies on every level. With a confidence and craft unexpected in a debut novelist, Amor Towles has fashioned an unusual love story and has created an entire cast of sympathetic and believable characters. New York, inevitably, is one of them.

The narrator, Kate Kontent, is urbane, self-assured, intelligent and honest, and it is these traits that characterize the entire novel.
