He was nineteen years old, a poor boy full of ambition. They met at a country club dance in St. Paul, Minnesota, in January 1916. Ginevra was F. Scott Fitzgerald's first love, but despite their intense epistolary romance, the relationship wouldn't last. After throwing him over with what he deemed "supreme boredom and indifference," she married a handsome young aviator from the right background. Caroline Preston deftly evokes the entire arc of Ginevra's storyfrom her first romantic meeting with Scott to the second act of her sometimes charmed, sometimes troubled life. Ginevra ruminates over what might have been had she picked the writer instead of the aviator. Furtively reading the now famous Fitzgerald's work, Ginevra sees herself in his characters, and not just as the spoiled debutante he'd known, but also uncannily predicting the woman she has becomecracks and all. An affecting story of two peopleone world famous, one a private person known only through her portrayals in priceless works of fiction, Gatsby's Girl is a tremendously entertaining yet moving novel about the powerful forces of first love, memory, and art.13458152006Gatsby's Girltotal:204|5:19|4:71|3:82|2:27|1:5|2046843235000falsefalseWed Sep 30 12:38:48 -0700 2009Wed Sep 30 12:38:48 -0700 2009
