Before Nick Carraway ever arrived at West Egg, he lived a story of his own — one of war, heartbreak, and searching for meaning. Nick reimagines the beloved narrator of The Great Gatsby, pulling him from the shadows and giving him a rich backstory full of loss, violence, and resilience. Set across the trenches of WWI, the glittering streets of Paris, and the dangerous alleys of New Orleans, this sweeping and romantic novel offers a deep, imaginative portrait of a man shaped by a turbulent world. Hardcover in good pre-owned condition. Minor shelf wear on the dust jacket but the pages are clean and unmarked.
