"May Day" by F. Scott Fitzgerald

During the october break, the book which grasped by attention is "May Day". This novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in 1920, speaks during the political May Day riots in Ohio in 1919. The story takes place in New York and the reader is introduced to three individual stories which coincide which each other; the story of the newspaper offices, the story of Sterrett and the story of Key and Rose. Many of these characters are in complicated dilemmas such as Sterrett which becomes bankrupt or Edith who "typifies the idealistic modern woman who seeks perfection and is repelled by anything less". 


I enjoyed reading this book. I love Fitzgerald's style of writing and the unique way in which he presents each and every character.
