![]() Many of us felt Katey was far too modern to be believable in the 1930s. ![]() I personally didn’t have that problem but I can see how some would. That can be a struggle when writing a period-specific piece. Another small complaint was that it was harder to relate to the characters because of the period. They seemed to wander off on their own paths but, in reality, that happens in life sometimes. The one complaint a reader had about the book was that the end was not satisfying because a lot of the characters’ plotlines didn’t have sufficient closure. There were loads of literary references dropped into the book but it never seemed forced or snobbish. Sometimes I think I’m in my happy reading bubble and it will be popped at the meeting, but not this time. (OK, I did.) I was so glad to hear that a lot of the other readers really enjoyed it as well. ![]() I may or may not have skipped out on another meeting to come to this book club. Sometimes, I’m overly excited to talk to my book club about a book I liked and that was the case with Rules of Civility. ![]()
