Nick Carraway walks nervously into his eccentric neighbor's garden. The lights are shining brilliantly and illuminating the merry faces of all the guests. He weaves around the swinging couples on the dance floor. The musical laughter and bubbling champagne swirls in a blur as Nick navigates through Mr. Gatsby's party. He glances all around him in search for a man he has never met. That's when he sees a peculiar man, separated from the crowd, staring off somberly into the Sound.
This fantastical novel is set in the Prohibition Era, where alcohol was illegal and plentiful. The reader follows Nick Carraway as he is immersed in the New York life. He lives on Long Island, where he meets an interesting character by the name of Gatsby. Gatsby lives on an immaculate property on which there is a massive, sparkling party for all of the wealthy. Nick is so fascinated by Gatsby as they are thrown together in a tangle of love ties and secret business. Jay Gatsby, however, is fascinated by a relative of Nick's whom he has waited to see for five long years.
