Jillian Cantor
Acerca de esta escucha
USA Today bestselling author Jillian Cantor reimagines and expands on the literary classic The Great Gatsby in this atmospheric historical novel with echoes of Big Little Lies, told in three women’s alternating voices.
On a sultry August day in 1922, Jay Gatsby is shot dead in his West Egg swimming pool. To the police, it appears to be an open-and-shut case of murder/suicide when the body of George Wilson, a local mechanic, is found in the woods nearby.
Then a diamond hairpin is discovered in the bushes by the pool, and three women fall under suspicion. Each holds a key that can unlock the truth to the mysterious life and death of this enigmatic millionaire.
Daisy Buchanan once thought she might marry Gatsby—before her family was torn apart by an unspeakable tragedy that sent her into the arms of the philandering Tom Buchanan.
Jordan Baker, Daisy’s best friend, guards a secret that derailed her promising golf career and threatens to ruin her friendship with Daisy as well.
Catherine McCoy, a suffragette, fights for women’s freedom and independence, and especially for her sister, Myrtle Wilson, who’s trapped in a terrible marriage.
Their stories unfold in the years leading up to that fateful summer of 1922, when all three of their lives are on the brink of unraveling. Each woman is pulled deeper into Jay Gatsby’s romantic obsession, with devastating consequences for all of them.
Jillian Cantor revisits the glittering Jazz Age world of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, retelling this timeless American classic from the women’s perspective. Beautiful Little Fools is a quintessential tale of money and power, marriage and friendship, love and desire, and ultimately the murder of a man tormented by the past and driven by a destructive longing that can never be fulfilled.

Neglected by both a distant, workaholic father and a mentally troubled mother—who believes their home is haunted by the victims of Chapel weapons—the sisters have grown up with only each other for company.

Historia
Anne Frank has long been a symbol of bravery and hope, but there were two sisters hidden in the annex, two young Jewish girls, one a cultural icon made famous by her published diary and the other, nearly forgotten. In the spring of 1959, The Diary of Anne Frank has just come to the silver screen to great acclaim, and a young woman named Margie Franklin is working in Philadelphia as a secretary at a Jewish law firm. On the surface she lives a quiet life, but Margie has a secret: a life she once lived, a past and a religion she has denied, and a family and a country she left behind.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Emma Caan is a fake. She’s a forger, an artist who specializes in nineteenth-century paintings. But she isn’t a criminal; her copies are commissioned by museums and ultra-wealthy collectors protecting their investments. Emma’s more than mastered a Gauguin brushstroke and a van Gogh wheat field, but her work is sometimes a painful reminder of the artistic dreams she once chased for herself, when she was younger and before her family and her world fell apart.

A Must!
The book is amazing! I loved the Great Gatsby, this book answers so many of the questions you have when reading. I can not get over how amazing this book was. It's a mystery and twist, but fits so well!

New Spin
Such a great new spin on The Great Gatsby. I was unsure at first how I felt, but as it progressed, I loved it.

Meh
I feel pretty indifferent to this book. There were a few times that I was listening to it that I gasped at what had occurred, but overall, I thought the book was just okay. It may be because I already had an opinion of Gatsby, but I didn't like how he was portrayed in this book. I also could understand the feelings (or lack thereof) Daisy had for Gatsby when they finally met up again, but at the same time, I was hoping for a different outcome for them, despite their narcissistic and materialistic natures. However, I did think the ending was great. Jordan gets a bad rap in Fitzgerald's version, and I like that she redeems herself in Cantor's version.
Honestly, what I loved most about the book was the personal essay from Jillian Cantor explaining her fascination with The Great Gatsby and her idea of giving the women of the story a voice.
They picked the perfect voices to play the parts as well.

Nice re-telling of a classic
It was clear from the outset that Jillian Cantor has a deep passion for The Great Gatsby. I share that passion, having read or listened to The Great Gatsby more times than I know. In Ms. Cantor's reimagining of the story, we get more of the back story and more strength in the women characters. The Great Gatsby is a literary masterpiece, and Ms. Cantor does not try to outshine or upstage it, rather she gives it a new, updated voice and honors the original well. Listening to Beautiful Little Fools, my passion for The Great Gatsby was deepened. Yet Beautiful Little Fools stands on its own - it includes a little more of the history, complete character development, and a rich, story of complicated relationships centered around Jay Gatsby ending in the same tragic events with just a hint of a secret best kept. I was first drawn to consider Beautiful Little Fools because I so love everything Julie Whelan has written or narrated. Then the writing and the story pulled me in and enveloped me. Beautiful Little fools does honor The Great Gatsby in an original way. I am looking forward to listening again soon.

Engaged from start to finish
I thoroughly enjoyed the authors take while she stuck to the important parts of the original book. I liked that I didn’t like the characters(especially Tom & Gatsby) but still found myself curious what was going to happen next. The ending felt natural and I’m pretty sure I’m going to go back for a second listen. Oh yeah! The narration was perfection itself!

Outstanding!
Thank you to Jillian Cantor for looking at the original Fitzgerald novel from a woman’s point of view. So much would be lost without it. Excellent writing, great narration. Highly recommend this story.

Ideas Vs Execution
If you are familiar with but not a repeat reader of The Great Gatsby, then you will probably find this book really compelling. But I have read and studied The Great Gatsby dozens of times, so my review is coming from that background.
This book had good ideas, but the execution was off at times. Many times. Character dialogue felt forced - they had to say each other’s names and especially nicknames too often, for example, so it came across as if the writer were trying too hard to convince readers of relationships - “See, they really are close with each other because they have nicknames for one another and everything! I promise!” Maybe some of my misgivings come down to how I interpret Gatsby (one of my favorite novels, which I’ve read and studied a lot because I I teach it to my students) compared to the author (one of her favorite novels), but I felt there were some liberties in characterization that were taken, lines from the original text that were conveniently left out/ignored, and therefore shifted outcomes and interpretations of character motivations. I think the ideas/outline is solid and could have still worked while remaining truer to what Fitzgerald intended. And what Fitzgerald intended is important here because even though this is an original story, the characters are not. I didn’t buy into how all of the relationships crossed paths - it was too much. And once this novel crossed over into what Fitzgerald had written, I felt that Cantor cherry-picked what was convenient for her plot line (which, admittedly, any writer would most likely do).
But even though there was a lot I didn’t agree with, I did find it interesting enough to finish. I did like some things about Daisy, Catherine, and Jordan’s development that added to but didn’t alter Fitzgerald’s characters. I can’t say the same about the others. So if you, like me, LOVE and KNOW WELL The Great Gatsby and picked this book up because of it, proceed with caution and an open mind. If you are a casual fan, it will be easier to buy into Cantor’s version of events because your not as invested in Fitzgerald’s world.

Great prequel
Loved this! It told the story of Great Gatsby characters from their own perspectives starting from childhood. So cool to see how the author tied everything in to have it make sense with the story, before and after! And the voices were incredible, great listen!
