Towles Amor: Rules of Civility

The rules of politeness in Amor Towels are an unforgettable debut of millions of copies by the author of the bestseller Gentleman in Moscow and Lincoln Road

In a New York jazz bar on the last night of 1937, watching the foursome because she couldn't afford to see the whole ensemble, there were certain things Katie Content knew:

* as a type of eighty words per minute, five thousand per hour, up to nine million per year

* what if you can still lose yourself in a Dickens novel then everything will be fine

* that random encounters can be fated, and the word "yes" can be poison

* that wealth can turn into rags in a heartbeat trip . . .
