Rules Of Civility

 George Washington wrote a list of rules of civility and his list is at the end of this book called Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. The year is 1937. A 25 year old woman named Katey Kontent (pronounced like the good feeling with the accent on the last syllable) goes to a jazz club. She meets a man called Tinker Grey. Katey lives in a boarding house and works as a typist during the day. This chance meeting has a big effect on Katey. For the next year  she socializes with the upper class in New York City. Tinker Grey is the fellow who follows the rules of civility. I found it interesting to learn more about the levels of society in the Big Apple.
