50+ Book Club: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Considered a classic of modern literature and a luscious portrait of the Jazz Age
in America, The Great Gatsby tells the story of millionaire Jay Gatsby and his
doomed love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Whether revisiting it or reading it
for the first time, the novel’s “complex picture of love, power, money, and
hypocrisy” (Publishers Weekly) is still a powerful and stirring work of art.
