Highly original and compellingly readable. This clever book uses the classic novel The Great Gatsby to create something entirely new. A young woman's traumatic experience causes her to seek a new direction in her life. She finds it in the photographs of a homeless man that seem to strangely connect to her life and her past. The novel stands alone, but will be even more interesting if you know Gatsby.
