Rules of Civility, by Amor Towles

I selected this title for it's cover -- so lovely -- and like the cover, the book was enjoyable but not particularly memorable.  Reading it gave me flashbacks to my survey course of American Literature: Benjamin Franklin, Thoreau, Jefferson, Fitzgerald, and of course, Hemingway.  I think Mark Twain and Emily Dickinson were thrown in for good measure. Of course, if you love New York, you may enjoy this book even more!
