ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Rules of Civility," a novel by Amor Towles, is set in New York City during the late 1930s and follows the journey of Katey Kontent, a young woman of modest means, as she navigates the glamorous and often treacherous world of Manhattan's elite. Through a chance encounter on New Year's Eve, Katey becomes entangled in the lives of Tinker Grey, a charming but enigmatic young man, and Eve Ross, her ambitious roommate. As Katey becomes increasingly immersed in this world of lavish parties and social maneuvering, she experiences a whirlwind of romantic entanglements, professional challenges, and personal growth. The novel explores themes of social mobility, ambition, the complexities of female friendship, and the pursuit of identity and belonging in a society marked by shifting social boundaries.
