Description - Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
In a jazz bar on the last night of 1937, watching a quartet because she couldn't afford to see the whole ensemble, there were certain things Katey Kontent knew:The location of every old church in ManhattanHow to sneak into the cinemaHow to type eighty words a minute, five thousand an hour, and nine million a yearand that if you can still lose yourself in the first chapter of a Dickens novel then everything is probably going to be fine.By the end of the year she'd learned:How to launch a paper airplane high over Park AvenueHow to live like a redheadHow to insist upon the very bestThat the word 'yes' can be a poisonand the Rules of Civility.That's how quickly New York City comes about - like a weathervane - or the head of a cobra.Time tells which.
