The Sensible Thing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646796472)

"There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Sensible Thing (1924)

The Sensible Thing (1924) by F. Scott Fitzgerald was originally published in the weekly magazine Liberty and is based on the early lives of Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda. Main character George does not have enough money to marry his sweetheart Jonquil, and the relationship ends; they had done the sensible thing. However, a romantic spirit lingers throughout the story when the two continue to meet. The interwoven themes of lack of money and the passion of young love are what Fitzgerald crafts so successfully. This story is a must-read for all who desire a melancholy romance.
