Author: F.Scott Fitzgerald
Written: 1925
Set: 1922
Midwest native Nick Carraway arrives in 1922 New York in search of the American dream. Nick, a would-be writer, moves in next-door to millionaire Jay Gatsby and across the bay from his cousin Daisy and her philandering husband, Tom. Thus, Nick becomes drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy and -- as he bears witness to their illusions and deceits -- pens a tale of impossible love, dreams, and tragedy.
First thoughts: I'm going to plead guilty to a book crime.... I watched the film first. It is usually regarded as a sin to do so, but the film was extraordinary (and very tempting)! Despite that I have been meaning to read this for AGES and the opportunity has arrived! I have high expectations.....
Happy reading, Kate x
