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

Katey Kontent, twenty-five, is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar on the last night of 1937 when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, sits down at the next table. Katey is propelled into the upper echelons of New York society by a chance encounter and its startling consequences, where she will have little to rely on but a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve.
Rules of Civility won readers and critics alike with its dazzling depiction of New York's social strata, intricate imagery and themes, and immensely appealing characters.
