Scott Fitzgerald at a country club dance in 1918, she is seventeen years old and he is a young army lieutenant stationed in Alabama. Before long, the \"ungettable\" Zelda has fallen for him despite his unsuitability: Scott isn't wealthy or prominent or even a Southerner, and keeps insisting, absurdly, that his writing will bring him both fortune and fame. Her father is deeply unimpressed. But after Scott sells his first novel, \u003ci\u003eThis Side of Paradise, \u003c\/i\u003e to Scribner's, Zelda optimistically boards a train north, to marry him in the vestry of St. Patrick's Cathedral and take the rest as it comes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What comes, here at the dawn of the Jazz Age, is unimagined attention and success and celebrity that will make Scott and Zelda legends in their own time. Everyone wants to meet the dashing young author of the scandalous novel--and his witty, perhaps even more scandalous wife. Zelda bobs her hair, adopts daring new fashions, and revels in this wild new world. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Everything seems new and possible. Troubles, at first, seem to fade like morning mist. But not even Jay Gatsby's parties go on forever. Who \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e Zelda, other than the wife of a famous--sometimes infamous--husband? How can she forge her own identity while fighting her demons and Scott's, too?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Therese Anne Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250028655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250028655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.59h x 6.64w x 1.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2012 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2012 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2013 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2013 pg. 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2013 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013 pg. 34 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/29\/2013 pg. 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/21\/2013 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/24\/2013 pg. 85","brand":"Therese Anne Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994046693631,"sku":"9781250028655","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b06f2fed-cb9f-475f-b931-208364f85d29.jpg?v=1683327814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/z-therese-anne-fowler-9781250028655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
