Sweet Fury (CD) (ISBN-13: 9781797189147)

Fates and Furies meets The Silent Patient when movie star Lila Crayne and her film director fianc? embark on a feminist adaptation of Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night, prompting Lila to enter therapy in preparation for her leading role--but in doing so, she finds herself the victim in a deadly game of revenge in which everyone, on screen and off, is playing a part.Lila Crayne is America's sweetheart: she's generous and kind, gorgeous and magnetic. She and her fianc?, visionary filmmaker Kurt Royall, have settled into a stunning new West Village apartment and are set to begin filming their feminist adaptation of Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night. To prepare for the leading role, Lila begins working with charming and accomplished therapist Jonah Gabriel to dig into the trauma of her past. Soon, Lila's impeccably manicured life begins to unravel on the therapy couch--and Jonah is just the man to pick up the pieces. But everyone has a secret, and no one is quite who they seem. A twisty, thought-provoking novel of construction and deconstruction in conversation with the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and told through the lens of the film industry, Sweet Fury is an incisive and bold critique of America's deep-rooted misogyny. With this novel, Bischoff examines the narratives we tell ourselves, and what happens when we co-opt others into those stories; and she probes the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator and the true meaning of justice.
