The Chosen and the Beautiful

Step into the glitz and glamour of the 1920s Jazz Age with The Chosen and the Beautiful, as immigrant and socialite Jordan Baker navigates a world of rarefied circles where she is simultaneously treated as an exotic attraction and barred from important doors. But in this world of dazzling illusions and elemental mysteries, Jordan discovers her own powers as a magician and learns how to burn the cut paper heart out of a man. Nghi Vo's debut novel reinvents the American classic with a stunning coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess.
