Everybody was so Young: Gerald and Sara Murphy, A Lost Generation Love Story by Amanda Vaill |
Brilliant in its genre, this exhaustively researched, objective but sympathetic biography of Gerald and Sara Murphy - handsome, talented and wealthy centre of the literary and artistic scene in Paris in the 1920's - portrays both the couple and the painters and writers surrounding them, and their founding of what became the French Riviera. It explains the misconceptions clinging to them and reveals, in this portrait of a marriage and an era, the glitter and the tragedy of both.
