Elegant and captivating, Rules of Civility captures how a spur of the moment decision can come to define a lifetime. The novel presents a fresh take on the perennially American story of rising from humble beginnings to great heights—this time with a strong woman in the hero’s role—against the backdrop of New York City as the Great Depression comes to an end. Towles writes with a masterful command of the period: its tones and inflections, its cultural trappings and complex social strata come alive in his prose. Rules of Civility marks the debut of an original new voice to the fictional landscape.
