The binding is exquisite and gorgeous, and it has a strong sense of the luxurious atmosphere of the United States in the 1920s.
◆ A book that fully describes the honesty and hypocrisy of human nature. Behind the laughter are vanity and absurdity, behind the glitz are love and sacrifice. It is intertwined with the complex love, hatred and emotions in the world, and disillusions the illusory American dream of the "Jazz Age".
