Jillian Cantor should be aware that her masterpiece will also likely be taught in conjunction with Fitzgerald’s for years to come. I wonder if Fitzgerald knew that his book would be taught in English classes and make such a mark on American culture. These women are the true heroines and bring new clarity to this iconic story. Myrtle for wanting a better life for herself which justifies some of her more questionable actions. Jordan, for her sharp wit and devotion to her friends, is the friend we all wish for. We learn to love and adore Catherine as the challenges the status quo of a typical woman in the Jazz Age.
A portion of the trials she has overcome would cripple a lesser woman, and yet she repeatedly endures trial after trial and rises triumphant.Ĭantor also gorgeously develops and lovingly describes the supporting cast. Daisy overcomes many hardships (dealing with grief isn’t a main plotline in the book on accident). Introduced as a society darling, Daisy Buchanan, née Fay, becomes anything but a “beautiful little fool“over the course of the book. Jillian Cantor’s book Beautiful Little Fools is patterned after the iconic line from F. The 50Plus Book of the Month for MARCH recommended by Andrea Peskind Katz from Great Thoughts, Great Readers is: Beautiful Little Fools
