[WPF] Rules of Civility by Amor Towles 5 stars

[Sue]

I loved this character-driven novel by Amor Towles. This was his first novel, but I've read his other two first and loved them both.

Not sure how to do this book justice in a review. On the surface, it's a story of multiple, overlapping love triangles. Everyone in the story has secrets, history they don't reveal, self re-invention.

One common theme was the backdrop of New York City. It seemed like the only place where each character was able to live out their chosen facade. In fact New York City was like one more character i the book.

Beautifully written! The audio was wonderful.

I liked this a lot as a salute to old New York, I preferred it to A Gentleman in Moscow.

I've just been trying to decide whether I liked this one or A Gentleman in Moscow best.

He does such a good job of capturing an atmosphere!
