Rules of Civility by Amor Towles


A novel about two girls who work as secretaries in New York in the 1930s.  The novel follows their relationship with a set of upper class debutantes and bachelors.  This book is about challenging social assumptions and prejudices but is also a straightforward, easy to read story about 1920s society.  The writing is good but the plot is a little slow at times.  I enjoyed this novel but it is not particularly memorable and for me it did not have the impact promised by a lot of the reviews (real reviews. By  actual professionals. Trust them)
