Narrated in the first person, Yale graduate Nick Carraway recalls his move to the Long Island town of West Egg and his fascinating but mysterious neighbour, the multi-millionaire Jay Gatsby. Entertained both by Gatsby at his mansion and by his own cousin, the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, and her husband Tom, Nick has plenty of opportunity to observe the social elite at play. As the parties keep coming and the cocktails are drunk, Nick discovers a web of relationships that are set to cause nothing but tragedy. And tragedy leads to murder.

Person
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University which he left in 1917 to join the army. Fitzgerald was said to have epitomised the Jazz Age, an age inhabited by a generation he defined as 'grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'.
