An Afternoon Book Club with Coffee, Tea & Snacks

January's selection is "Rules of Civility" by Amor Towles.

From the New York Times-bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow, a “sharply stylish” (Boston Globe) novel of a young    woman in post-Depression era New York who suddenly finds herself thrust into high society.On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-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.With its sparkling depiction of New York’s social strata, its intricate imagery and themes, and its immensely appealing characters, Rules of Civility won the hearts of readers and critics alike.

Book Club copies are available at the Cherrydale service desk.

Meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month. Newcomers always welcome.

Next month's selection is "Crossing to Safety" by Wallace Stegner
