In this evocative historical book with Big Little Lies-like echoes, USA Today bestselling author Jillian Cantor reimagines and expands on the literary classic The Great Gatsby, written in the alternating viewpoints of three women.
Jay Gatsby is shot down in his West Egg swimming pool on a steamy August day in 1922. When the corpse of neighborhood mechanic George Wilson is discovered in the woods, the police believe it to be an obvious case of murder and suicide.
Three ladies are then suspicious when a diamond hairpin is found in the poolside shrubs. Every one of them has a key that might reveal the truth about the enigmatic millionaire's secret life and death.
Daisy Buchanan had hoped to wed Gatsby until a horrible tragedy tore her family apart and forced her into the arms of her father, Tom Buchanan, who was a philanderer.
Daisy's closest friend, Jordan Baker, has a secret that has destroyed her once-promising golf career and might destroy her bond with Daisy as well.
Suffrage activist Catherine McCoy battles for women's liberation and self-determination, particularly for her sister Myrtle Wilson, who is imprisoned in a horrible marriage.
The three of their lives are on the verge of disintegrating as their tales are told in the years before that terrible summer of 1922. Jay Gatsby's amorous passion draws each lady in closer, with disastrous results for each of them.
Jillian Cantor tells the enduring American classic The Great Gatsby from the viewpoint of women as she returns to the glitzy Jazz Age setting. The classic story of wealth and power, friendship and marriage, love and want, and eventually the murder of a man haunted by his history and driven by a terrible passion that can never be satisfied can be found in Beautiful Little Fools.
