For a relatively long book, this is a very short review of Amor Towles‘ Rules of Civility.
Rules of Civility is a love letter to New York city, to the Jazz Age, to the year 1938. I suspect it’s also Towles’ love letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald.
I thoroughly enjoyed every lush, carefully constructed sentence.
Dare I leave it at that? Yes.
4/5 Every word is a Big-Apple-Art-Deco treat.
