The Instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller from the author of A Gentleman in Moscow, The Lincoln Highway, and Rules of Civility is a knockout. Table for Two is a winner.

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. In Towless novel Rules of Civility, the indomitable Evelyn Ross leaves New York City in September 1938 with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago, where her parents are waiting, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from seven points of view, "Eve in Hollywood" describes how Eve crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows, and dive bars of Los Angeles.

Written with his signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towless canon of stylish and transporting fiction.

Praise for The Lincoln Highway: A rollicking cross-country adventure, rife with unforgettable characters, vivid scenery, and suspense that will keep readers flying through the pages. Time. Elegantly constructed and compulsively readable. . . hitch onto this.
