a fiesty, gleaming, White novel. ‘Might have to keep this permanently in the ‘one-time-read’ pile so as to not scrutinise the inexcusable privilege of it all. Soirées and scandals and decadence are always cool to read about. Again, it is hard to ignore how wildly out of touch The Great Gatsby is, especially since I’m not sure that this flaw was meant to be eye-opening or insightful when Mrs Fitzgerald wrote it (wink).
