O Russet witch!af F. Scott Fitzgerald

Bookseller, Merlin Grainger, has a crush.

The only problem is, he’s never actually met the girl he’s in love with, so he calls her Caroline.

Russet-haired Caroline keeps popping into Merlin’s life, casting a spell over him, each time she does. Even at the point where Merlin proposes to another woman, Caroline seems to be there.

Is she real, or a figment of his imagination?

Although this is a short story, we see most of Merlin’s life unfold. Will he regret his decisions or is he happy to die by them?

´O Russet Witch!´ is perfect for fans of Raymond Carver.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century and the author of the classics ‘Tender is the Night’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’, with the latter having been made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan.
Skillfully capturing the prosperity of post-World War One America, his writing helped illustrate the 1920s Jazz Age that he and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald were at the centre of.
