Sara Jane’s etiquette is contextual etiquette. Transcending old notions of manners entirely, it is nothing less than the art and science of interacting with others.

Interesting book that touches on how etiquette differs across culture, generations and in different context e.g work, platonic and romantic relationships, hosting, travel and on different mode of transport. Helps me to understand the upbringing of first class in England and India a lot better too.
