The Great Gatsby

In 1922 Nick, a would-be writer, moves to a waterfront home on Long Island and ends up next door to a mysterious millionaire named Jay Gatsby, who hosts wild parties that are the talk of New York—yet very few of his guests know who he is or where he came from. Directly across the bay from Gatsby lives Nick’s beautiful, wealthy cousin Daisy and her husband, Tom, a brash bully used to getting his own way. As the languid Long Island summer stretches on, Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy—the rumours, illusions, and deceits of his new friends—and pens a tale of impossible love, ambition, and tragedy.
