Before he wrote some of the twentieth century's greatest fiction,
before he married Zelda, F. Scott Fitzgerald loved Ginevra, a
fickle young Chicago socialite he met during the winter break from
Princeton. But Ginevra threw over the soon-to-be-famous novelist,
and the rest is literary history. Ginevra would be the model for
many of Fitzgerald's coolly fascinating but unattainable heroines,
including the elusive object of Jay Gatsby's unrequited love, Daisy
Buchanan.
In this captivating and moving novel, Caroline Preston imagines
what life might have been like for Fitzgerald's first love,
following Ginevra from her gilded youth as the daughter of a tycoon
through disillusioned marriage and motherhood. An engrossing
fictional portrait, Gatsby's Girl deftly explores the relationship
between a famous author and his muse.
