Thank you so much @Jas16 for not only passing on your book to me, but adding another beautiful book as well! Love the Oscar Wilde card! 💖 #bookmail
Expat Americans Gerald and Sara Murphy seemed to socialize with the who‘s who of the 1920‘s- Picasso, Hemingway, the Fitzgeralds, and Dorothy Parker just to name a few. However their generous spirits and zeal for life and art make them equally captivating figures. This biography was very detailed which made it plod along at times but it is a period time I always love reading about. Last book for #fourfoursin23 #glossyposse
Here is what I've been reading lately! Some for pleasure and one out of necessity haha. "Everybody was so young" is great so far, I love reading about the lost generation!
I love reading about the Fitzgeralds, Murphys, Hemingways, and their entourage. Villa America wasn‘t as engrossing as I wanted it to be, but I intend to read Everybody Was So Young because I‘d love to learn more about the Murphys! #factfiction #septemberdanes
#Aprella #AmericanMoney Gerald Murphy was being groomed to take over the family business,legendary leather goods company Mark Cross , but he would have none of it. Both he and wife Sara had an artistic bent & fled to Europe to avoid family pressures.They socialized with the likes of Dorothy Parker , the Fitzgeralds , the Hemingways, Picasso, & Cole Porter.The depression changed their fortunes , but the experiences they had seem priceless.
1. Easy. F Scott Fitzgerald. We could share a bottle of gin.
2. Scary thought, you know, being a woman and all. I‘d choose 1863 in Glasgow. I‘m a genealogist and I have some questions for my GGG-Grandmother.
3. Kate Winslet before she lost weight.
