Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. This book actually appeared on last year’s list. It was suggested by publishing industry friend and was published mid-summer. Everyone who read it seems to have loved it: “The writing was just beautiful. The plot reasonably straightforward, with some interesting twists, yet what made this book was the writing. A treat!” And: “I was so surprised when I realized the author was a man.” Another contributor: “chronicle of the life of a young woman in New York in the 1930's. The author writes the way we wish we all could - fabulous metaphors combined with graceful prose that tells the truth, even when it hurts. You won't see the plot twist coming toward the end of the book, either.”
