Vo gives us a dreamy, sharply-drawn glamour; a vibrant, penetrating exploration of character. <em>The Chosen and the Beautiful</em> is exactly enough ― but why not indulge with a reread? And why not raise a glass to <strong>Nghi Vo, whose name on the spine of a book seems to mean that whatever the pages within hold will be superlative</strong>?"―NPR<br> <br> “<strong>Vo has crafted a retelling that, in many ways, surpasses the original</strong>, adding logic and depth to characters’ motivations while still―uncannily―unspooling the familiar story. <strong>Astonishingly crafted, with luscious prose and appeal for both fans of the original and those who always felt </strong><em><strong>The Great Gatsby</strong></em><strong> missed the mark</strong>.”―<em>Kirkus Reviews</em>, <strong>*starred review*</strong></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support</a>
