From the New York Times-bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and the forthcoming The Lincoln Highway, 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 <br/> <br/>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. <br/> <br/>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. <br/>
