Table for Two by Amor Towles is a delight - six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Hollywood.
The NY tales take place in 2000 - brief encounters, compromises, modern marriages and all the complications of life.
cover blurb : Towles novel Rules of Civility had Evelyn Ross head west from NYC. But what if she actually headed to Los Angeles. "Eve in Hollywood" is a hoot. She crafts a whole new future, exerts her power, and we enjoy her life through movie sets, bungalows, and the dive bars of LA.
I love Towles' writing and enjoyed this collection. Truly a treat.
Hi Joanne - this does sound a very good read ... I must read some of his - cheers Hilary
