Book Discussion Group
In October, the Book Group will be reading Table for Two by Amos Towles.
From the bestselling author of The Lincoln Highway, A Gentleman in Moscow, and Rules of Civility, Table for Two includes six short stories and a novella. The six stories, all set in New York, mostly take place around the turn of the Millennium. The novella follows Evelyn Ross, the character from Rules of Civility, to Hollywood in 1938.
“This may be Towles’ best book yet. Each tale is as satisfying as a master chef’s main course, filled with drama, wit, erudition and, most of all, heart.” —Los Angeles Times
“The book spans the 20th century, bringing characters into tableaus of deceit and desire. Table for Two delivers the kick of a martini served in the Polo Lounge.” – The New York Times Book Review
