Everybody Was so Young ~ Amanda Vaill

Story of the lost generation.Gerald and Sara Murphy.. the toast of pre-war Europe


This is just an amazing story about the people who were rich enough to live in Antibes at the beginning of the Riviera's emergence.  So rich they could help many of\ their friends including Cole Porter, Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald with money and support.  They then continued these relationships to the demise of them all.  

They did, however, have a tragic life losing two of their children to tuberculosis and meningitis.  I was completely fascinated by their story and how their lives connected them all.
