關於這本電子書

This short story follows the loveable character of George O'Kelly, an aspiring engineer who sells insurance to pay the bills.

George falls in love with the mysterious Jonquill Cary. When he gets a letter from her, he quits his job so he can go to Tennessee to visit her and convince her about their relationship.

However, when he arrives, he finds Jonquill with two other younger boys and they then break up.

The story picks up again a year later, to find George hugely successful and notably well-dressed. When Jonquill reunites with George, it is hard to know if things have changed for the couple...

́The Sensible Thing ́ is the ideal read for fans of Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Carver. F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century and the author of the classics ‘Tender is the Night’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’, with the latter having been made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. Skillfully capturing the prosperity of post-World War One America, his writing helped illustrate the 1920s Jazz Age that he and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald were at the centre of.
