THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON-
From the author of The Great Gatsby, this collection sees F. Scott Fitzgerald deftly chronicle heartbreak, astonishment and romance across three stories, where fortunes can change in an instant and couples break apart, only to be reunited again. An accomplished novelist and short story writer, renowned for his portraits of American society during the Jazz Age, these tales exemplify F. Scott Fitzgerald's talent.
The Bridal Party is set in 1930s Paris. Mike, a young American, reluctantly attends the wedding festivities of Caroline, the woman he is still in love with. Will she change her mind when she learns that Mike has now come into money? Over in Baltimore, a couple are taken aback as they realize there is something bizarre about their newborn baby. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells a life story like no other. And Love in the Night sketches the whirlwind love shared between a young man from a wealthy Russian family, and the older married woman who he briefly meets and will never quite forget.
