THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER OF THE JAZZ AGE NOW AN AMAZON
ORIGINALS SERIES STARRING CHRISTINA RICCI 'If ever a couple ...
became an era, it was F Scott Fitzgerald and his glamorous
"flapper" wife, Zelda. They were the Jazz Age' Independent When
beautiful, reckless Southern belle Zelda Sayre meets F. Scott
Fitzgerald at a country club dance in 1918, she is seventeen and he
is a young army lieutenant. Before long, Zelda has fallen for him,
even though Scott isn't wealthy or prominent or even a Southerner
and keeps insisting, absurdly, that his writing will bring him both
fortune and fame. When he sells his first novel, she optimistically
boards a train to New York, to marry him and take the rest as it
comes. What comes, here at the dawn of the Jazz Age, is unimagined
success and celebrity that will make Scott and Zelda legends in
their own time. Each place they go becomes a playground:New York
City, Long Island, Hollywood, Paris, and the French Riviera - where
they join the endless party of the glamorous, sometimes doomed Lost
Generation that includes Ernest Hemingway, Sara and Gerald Murphy,
and Gertrude Stein. Everything seems new and possible, but not even
Jay Gatsby's parties go on forever. Who is Zelda, other than the
wife of a famous - sometimes infamous - husband? With brilliant
insight and imagination, Therese Anne Fowler brings us Zelda's
irresistible story as she herself might have told it. 'Utterly
compulsive reading' Stylist 'Brilliant' Daily Mail 'Superb'
Independent *Therese Anne Fowler's bestselling novel of the Gilded
Age, A Well-Behaved Woman, is out now*
