![]() ![]() Overall, just a truly wonderful story and read. My favorite character is easily Jordan.A bisexual woman daring to be her true self when it could send her to the asylum. There is a point in this book where the story just truly breaks my heart, and although sad it shows just how multi-faceted the characters that Sarah Zane has created truly are. Daisy has dreams and aspirations of a woman beyond her time, but also feels the need to settle down with a true love match while still pleasing society and becoming a woman wed. I simply *love* everything about this book. Jay, a young soldier, who shares Daisy's feelings, unfortunately is shipped off to war leaving Daisy behind. "Society told me I was worthless unless I meant something to a man"ĭaisy details her hope of finding real love instead of conforming to the societal norm of the time and quickly meets Jay Gatsby. This story follows Daisy Fay "The Sweetheart of Louisville" in 1917 along her journey as a woman from a prominent family expected to retain her purity and marry the most suitable (richest) bachelor who would have her. I read The Great Gatsby years ago and it has remained one of my favorite classics and I simply could not skip out on a retelling with a feminist twist. I read the blurb for this book and jumped at the opportunity to read it. ![]()
