A story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his new love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted 'gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,' it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

Fitzgerald's prose is like liquid gold. Every sentence shimmers with melancholy beauty. I've read this a dozen times and still find new layers.

The American Dream dissected with surgical precision. Gatsby's parties are dazzling, but the emptiness underneath is devastating.

A perfect novel. The green light at the end of Daisy's dock haunts me still.
