Reviews
" An interesting and wide ranging look at a tumultuous period." - Booklist/i> "A varied and dazzling portrait gallery of crooks and film stars, boxers and presidents, each brilliantly delineated and coloured in by a historian with a novelist's relish for human foibles."-The Sunday Times(London) "Mesmerising... Like the champagne-immersed age she portrays, Moore's book effervesces with the detail of this fascinating story."- Juliet Nicholson, Evening Standard "What a decade it was! What goings-on more violent, subversive and exotic than any of the parties, japes or shenanigans of our own Bright Young Things... Moore has knitted the various diverse strands together impressively with an overview of the large cast of characters, events, attitudes, industries and statistics."- Anne de Courcy, Daily Mail "Full of anecdote, detail and colour... Fluid and elegant."-Marianne Brace, Independent "Out-of-control consumer spending? Unregulated banking system? Feverish need to drink and drug the jumpy self into oblivion? Check, check, check. We have been here before, and in a much worse state too, at the end of the 'roaring' 1920s. If this book has a moral it is that, in the words of that balladeer of bad times Al Jolson, 'you ain't seen nothing yet.'"-Kathryn Hughes, Guardian "An especially well-timed history of the Roaring Twenties as the decade motored from hedonistic, high-spending boom to the bust of the Great Crash in 1929."- Boyd Tonkin, Independent "Eminently readable and sparkling... The biography skips along, peppered with contemporary detail, from Al Capone's pastel-hued suits and perforated septum; to the image of a glorious Zelda Fitzgerald diving from the top board in a flesh-coloured swimsuit; to Henry Ford's fondness for farming and folk dancing, and Ernest Hemingway's bemused reaction to a story in the New York Timesabout the new fad for sun worship ... [Moore] has painstakingly trawled the newspapers and literature of the day for the telling personal details and gossipy insights that can bring her cast to life ... Fresh, readable and often fascinating."-Jennifer O'Connell, Sunday Business Post "An age obsessed by celebrity and excess, consumerism and fashion, political scandal and a boom-bust economy; the Twenties were more than a mirror for our own times, they set the pattern for the way we live now...Highly readable."- Philip Hoare, Mail on Sunday "The great strength of this delightful canter through the history of America in the 1920s [is] the author's zestful way with a story... All the spirit of a Prohibition party."- Sunday TimesBooks of the Year "The energy and dynamism that came to embody much of the 'Roaring Twenties' are palpable in Lucy Moore's portrait of American society throughout the decade ... Moore propels the reader at speed through the key social, cultural, political and economic events of the period. Beginning with notorious activities of Wall Street financiers, the result is a book that presents a powerful impression of both the glamorous and the dirty aspects of this era. This is clearly a book of timely relevance."-Christopher Godden, Times Literary Supplement "Moore expertly explores the intrigues and excesses of Twenties America. A gorgeous historical indulgence."- In Style, British Praise for Anything Goes "A varied and dazzling portrait gallery of crooks and film stars, boxers and presidents, each brilliantly delineated and coloured in by a historian with a novelist's relish for human foibles."-The Sunday Times(London) "Mesmerising...
