Brief Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

The story starts in an art gallery in 1966. A couple in their 50s are viewing an exhibit of random photographs taken on trains of passengers in New York City in the late 1930s. Apparently the camera was hidden so the subjects didn’t know they were being “watched”. The woman sees a familiar face in not one, but two of these photographs. The man looks remarkably different in the two photos. She reminisces. Our real story begins. So we’re transported to New York City in the year 1938. We now read about the life of the woman we met in the art gallery who is now a single woman in her 20s. This book is essentially a journal of her life over the span of a year. Although the decade of the 1930s is remembered by history as being in the thick of the Great Depression, you wouldn’t really know that while reading about a year in the life of Katey Kontent. She’s a far cry from wealthy, but she’s not starving either. She has a decent job, somewhat decent living quarters, and meets a ton of very interesting people over the span of one year. Some of these new friends are definitely more well-off than she is, and some she becomes more intimate with than others. Although she has a humble background and is somewhat frugal, some of her new acquaintances allow her to taste a bit more of the exquisite culture and surroundings of the big city.
