From Collins Classics and the author of ‘The Great Gatsby’ a
marriage unravels in this autobiographical tale. ‘Sometimes it is
harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure.’ Set on
the French Riviera in the 1920s, American Dick Diver and his wife
Nicole are the epitome of chic, living a glamorous lifestyle and
entertaining friends at their villa. Young film star Rosemary Hoyt
arrives in France and becomes entranced by the couple. It is not
long before she is attracted to the enigmatic Dick, but he and his
wife hold dark secrets and as their marriage becomes more
fractured, Fitzgerald laments the failure of idealism and the
carefully constructed trappings of high society in the Roaring
Twenties.
