Mrs. Wilson's Affair: A Great Gatsby Retelling (a Novel) - Allyson Reedy

Mrs. Wilson's Affair: A Great Gatsby Retelling (a Novel)

De (autor): Allyson Reedy

A beautiful and brilliant retelling of The Great Gatsby from the perspective of an often forgotten, yet indispensable, female character--Myrtle Wilson, Tom Buchanan's mistress.

It is 1922. Myrtle Wilson lives a lonely, desolate existence above her husband's garage in the "valley of ashes" between New York and Long Island. All her dreams--and her marriage itself--are turning to dust until she crosses paths with Tom Buchanan on the subway. In one moment, Myrtle's life is irrevocably changed. "You can't live forever, you can't live forever" becomes the mantra that galvanizes her decision to embark on a fateful affair with the wealthy stranger. She battles with herself and the forces that keep her boxed in, experimenting with what little power she has over the men in her life, her situation growing more dire in the frenetic days leading up to her death.
Paralleling the events of The Great Gatsby--and in key scenes even masterfully weaving in original dialogue--Mrs. Wilson's Affair provides a poignant look at how isolation and unfulfilled desire can shape our destiny and will transform how you read Fitzgerald's classic novel.

This poignant and gripping novel teems with raw, complex emotion. It is perfect for fans of classic retellings like Sandra Newman's Julia, and Nghi Vo's The Chosen and the Beautiful.
