Focusing on themes of love and ambition, the story follows Amory Blaine, a Midwesterner who experiences rejection from two wealthy women. This largely autobiographical novel, published in 1920, catapulted F. Scott Fitzgerald to fame at just 24 years old. The success of the book coincided with his marriage to Zelda Sayre, shortly after its release, marking a pivotal moment in his life and career. Their daughter, Frances Scott Fitzgerald, was born the following year, adding to the personal narrative woven into the author's journey.
