It is 1922. Myrtle Wilson lives a lonely, desolate existence above her husband’s garage in the “valley of ashes” between New York and Long Island. All her dreams—and her marriage itself—are turning to dust until she crosses paths with Tom Buchanan on the subway. In one moment, Myrtle’s life is irrevocably changed. “You can’t live forever, you can’t live forever” becomes the mantra that galvanizes her decision to embark on a fateful affair with the wealthy stranger. She battles with herself and the forces that keep her boxed in, experimenting with what little power she has over the men in her life, her situation growing more dire in the frenetic days leading up to her death.
Paralleling the events of The Great Gatsby—and in key scenes even masterfully weaving in original dialogue—Mrs. Wilson’s Affair provides a poignant look at how isolation and unfulfilled desire can shape our destiny and will transform how you read Fitzgerald’s classic novel.

Recensioni della critica
“A brilliant reimagining of The Great Gatsby from Myrtle Wilson’s point view, Mrs. Wilson’s Affair is a gorgeously written take on the classic that will enthrall both Gatsby fans and newcomers to the story alike. Allyson’s Reedy’s fascinating exploration of Myrtle, at long last as a fully-formed character, offers a whole new perspective to the story of Tom Buchanan’s affair.”—Jillian Cantor, USA Today bestselling author of Beautiful Little Fools
"A must-read for all Gatsby lovers, Mrs. Wilson’s Affair pulls us back into that cherished American classic through the lens of Myrtle Wilson. Reedy breathes new life into Myrtle’s story, giving her romance, depth, and a haunting humanity that makes her tragic end all the more deeply felt. A compelling, captivating read."—Sash Bischoff, author of Sweet Fury
