Produktbeschreibung
From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Lincoln Highway and A Gentleman in Moscow, a sharply stylish (Boston Globe) book about a young woman in post-Depression era New York who suddenly finds herself thrust into high society now with over one million readers worldwide

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 sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society where she will have little to rely upon other 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.
