Rules of Civility
by Amor Towles
by Amor Towles
Every woman has a story of how they loved, lost and grew into the woman they are. This reads like a personal journey into an extraordinarily unbending and intelligent woman named Katy. I enjoyed reading how her life became what it is by so many influences of people, books and places she encountered in a short period of her life as she found herself. This is the perfect reflecting novel that shows how everything imprints and shapes our heart and minds with a heroine that blazes her way in 1930's New York's upper class social scene, yet never forgets who she is and where she came from. Told with wonderful historical accuracy, wit and strong characters. Just immerse yourself and enjoy.

Quotes Karla Liked
“In our twenties, when there is still so much time ahead of us, time that seems ample for a hundred indecisions, for a hundred visions and revisions—we draw a card, and we must decide right then and there whether to keep that card and discard the next, or discard the first card and keep the second. And before we know it, the deck has been played out and the decisions we have just made will shape our lives for decades to come.”

“It is a lovely oddity of human nature that a person is more inclined to interrupt two people in conversation than one person alone with a book.”
