Ihr Leben ist eine einzige Party, sie trinken und tanzen die Nächte durch. Gloria und Anthony sind ein Traumpaar - sie sind jung, schön, verschwenderisch... und verdammt. Bald schon müssen sie aus Geldnot New York verlassen. Unter dem weiten Himmel von Connecticut holt sie die Langeweile ein, und alles endet in einem fürchterlichen Kater. Gloria und Anthony - zwei Liebende, die "galant zur Hölle fahren".

These sumptuous new hardback editions mark the 70th anniversary of Fitzgerald´s death.

Anthony and Gloria are the essence of Jazz Age glamour. A brilliant and magnetic couple, they fling themselves at life with an energy that is thrilling. New York is a playground where they dance and drink for days on end. Their marriage is a passionate theatrical performance; they are young, rich, alive and lovely and they intend to inherit the earth.

But as money becomes tight, their marriage becomes impossible. And with their inheritance still distant, Anthony and Gloria must grow up and face reality; they may be beautiful but they are also damned.
