'Gatsby?' asked Daisy urgently. 'What Gatsby?' Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago - and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society enjoys the best parties on offer? Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across the bay from Daisy - now married to wealthy polo-player Tom Buchanan? Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsby's past and present - a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which perfectly illustrates the 'careless and confused' nature of America's Jazz Age.
