Immigrant. Socialite. Magician.
Jordan
Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American
society—she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and
invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She’s
also queer, Asian, adopted, and treated as an exotic attraction by her
peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her.
But
the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions,
lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan
can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.
Nghi Vo’s debut novel The Chosen and the Beautiful
reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story
full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major
new literary voice.
