Description

From the New York Times-bestselling creator of A Gentleman in Moscow, a “sharply stylish” (Boston Globe) novel of a tender woman in post-Depression era New York who finds herself thrust into high society.

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 take a seat down on the neighboring table. This opportunity encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the higher echelons of New York society—where she may have little to depend upon rather 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.
