- Synopsis
- This Side of Paradise is the debut novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was published in 1920.[1] Taking its title from a line of Rupert Brooke's poem Tiare Tahiti, the book examines the lives and morality of post–World War I youth. The adored son of a wealthy, alcoholic mother and an absentee father, Amory Blaine's youth is defined by the social strictures of the early twentieth century. He attends country-club parties, makes the acquaintance of proper young women, and attends an elite private school.But even as Amory comes into his own as a Princeton student, he struggles to make a meaningful, and lasting, romantic connection, falling in love first with the beautiful Isabelle Borgé and then with the debutante Rosalind Connage, whose rejection of Amory proves devastating.
