![]() 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. ![]()
