I KNOW!! I need a movie, at least two spin-offs and a sequel. Nina alone is worth another novel. Right now I’m calling it as my favorite book of 2016. So glad you loved it. He’s going to be in Seattle on the 21st and I’m freaking out.

IT’S SO AMAZING! I really, really enjoyed Rules of Civility, and wondered if I would ever again find anything like it, but this one is on a whole new level; the historian and story-lover in me is just distraught that it’s over! I WANT MORE! 🙂

I’m a newbie to Towles and will check out his book. I received a copy at BEA. The author had a fun rubber stamp that he marked the book with.

It is simply marvelous- intelligent, touching, funny– everything we hope for in great fiction.

It seemed too long to be able to cram into my schedule, even though it intrigued me. Now I hear how you guys love it and I went back in and chose it as my September selection. It really does sound a bit magical. Thanks, Catherine!

I liked it much better than Rules of Civility, but it is a completely different story. It’s fleshed out the way I wish Civility had been.
