Gatsby? asked Daisy urgently.
What Gatsby?
Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago
and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society
enjoys the best parties on offer? Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across
the bay from Daisy now married to wealthy poloplayer Tom Buchanan?
As one mans mysterious dream moves towards its ultimately tragic conclusion,
Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsbys past and
present a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which
perfectly illustrates the careless and confused nature of Americas Jazz Age.
