But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car.

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

Millions of Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood. The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages.

Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of 2021, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone.

Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time.

Description
From the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Lincoln Highway and A Gentleman in Moscow, a “sharply stylish” (Boston Globe) book about a young woman in post-Depression era New York who suddenly finds herself thrust into high society - now with over one million readers worldwide.
On the last night of 1937, 25-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.

Rules of Civility
Extraordinary writing that fully deserved Rebecca Lowman’s reading, which was expressive without the exaggerated changes in voice to denote characters that is so common. What a treat.

Beautiful Story - Well Told
My First audiobook. Decided to try this after reading “ A Gentleman in Moscow .” Both books are books to read if you enjoy a good story, well told , with amazing insights into human behaviour and a story line you will want to see through to the climax. The epilogue in “ Rules of Civility” was one of the best parts. Imagine that !
The language is so enjoyable to read and hear. The characters are so diverse, with a little of each of us in everyone of them. Read it. Hear it. You will not regret it.

Struggling to Finish
I find that the characters are hard to relate to, and none of them are likeable. The story is not engaging it just drags along. If i would have known how u engaging the story was I would not have wasted a credit. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this one was just not for me.

A great listen - story and narrator
Found myself immersed in this story - not thinking of anything but the characters and events throughout.
As with a Gentleman in Moscow, it was hard to get a handle on where the story was going, but, the peeling
away of layers draws the listener in and it all comes together by the end.
Enjoyed the addition of George Washington's "Rules of Civility" at the end - most of them are still relevant
and could be put into practice today.
#Audible1 continues to do great things matching narrators and stories!

Loved this book!
Be ready to be transported to New York City in the 30's and 40's. An extremely well told story told from the perspective of an interesting and independent woman, not prone to convention or loveless relationships. Full of fun, adventure, heartbreak, serendipity and rich characters. Lots of insights to the publishing world. The perfect narrator for the story.

Beautifully written and performed
I purchased this in the hope that it would be as good as A Gentleman in Moscow, which I read last year. I was not disappointed. Amor Towles has the ability to bring his characters to life and create stories that keep you engaged. I listened to the short excerpt from A Gentleman in Moscow that was included at the end of this audiobook and that too was brilliantly performed. I'm thinking of purchasing it even though I have already read the book.

They don't write books like this anymore
The thing that stands out most about this book is how beautifully written it is, feeling almost like a piece of classical literature. It was so lovely I was swept up in it's charm from the beginning. The narrator was excellent and brought a lot of depth, however sometimes I felt like if I was reading it in my own head, the happy parts would've felt a bit more joyful. That being said, the voices were excellent, and you could hear the personality of every character.
The story brings 1930's New York to vivid life which was so much fun to listen to. The characters had so many layers and continued to surprise you, especially just when you thought you had them figured out. The conclusion was satisfying and the story was bitter sweet. I'm happy to have read this one.
Read it if you love New York City, historical fiction, classic literature, or any and all of the above. I'll be thinking about this book for a long time.

Literary Historical Novel
Solid 4.5 star novel. I came to this after the amazing Gentleman of Moscow (one of the best audio books) - but this novel is not the same sublime reading experience, but for a debut novel it is astounding.
Wonderfully written, lyrical prose. It just does not land as well as his later novel.
