NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A brilliantly rendered biography (Los Angeles Times) of the couple who brought together the Lost Generation of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dorothy Parker, and more--from the Pulitzer Prize­-winning author of Pride and Pleasure

[Amanda] Vaill adroitly captures the laughter, the wit, the cocktails, and the sheer exuberance of this still-alluring period.--Entertainment Weekly

Gifted artist Gerald Murphy and his elegant wife, Sara, were icons of the most enchanting period of our time; handsome, talented, and wealthy expatriate Americans, they were at the very center of the literary scene in Paris in the 1920s. In Everybody Was So Young Amanda Vaill brilliantly portrays both the times in which the Murphys lived and the fascinating friends who flocked around them.

Whether summering with Picasso on the French Riviera or watching bullfights with Hemingway in Pamplona, Gerald and Sara inspired kindred creative spirits like Dorothy Parker, Cole Porter, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald even modeled his main characters in Tender is the Night after the couple. Their story is both glittering and tragic, and in this sweeping and richly anecdotal portrait of a marriage and an era, Amanda Vaill has brought them to life as never before (Chicago Tribune).
