An okay read, but fell a little flat. A good historically based insight into the relationship between Kay Swift & George Gershwin. A slow-paced, character-driven novel with moments of a more stiff, educational tone. The writing is good, but the academic edge can come off a bit pretentious & alienating. The best part of the novel was the atmosphere. There was good attention to style & different pieces of society as well as inventions of the age.
