Make Your Selection: Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

From New York Times best-selling author, Amor Towles, this story centers around a young woman in post-Depression era New York who suddenly finds herself thrust into high society. On the last night of 1937, 25-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.
