'Sometimes', said Scott, 'I don't know whether Zelda and I are real or whether we are characters from one of my own novels.'



Before F. Scott Fitzgerald was a literary darling, before he'd even begun to imagine THE GREAT GATSBY or Benjamin Button, he was a young WWI army lieutenant who fell hard for a spirited Southern belle named Zelda Sayre. The life he and Zelda would lead together in New York, Long Island, Paris, Hollywood and the French Riviera made them legends, even in their own time. Zelda was the embodiment of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties. She was vibrant, headstrong, complicated and misunderstood. Z is the irresistibly rich, romantic and tumultuous story of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, set in seductive settings and featuring larger-than-life characters including Ernest Hemingway, Sara and Gerald Murphy and Gertrude Stein.



From Manhattan to the French Riviera, Paris, Baltimore, Hollywood and points in between, through his alcohol addition and her schizophrenia diagnosis, Z traces the evolution of this iconic woman as she fights for her own potential while trying to ensure that Scott achieves his.

Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald is a fictional account of the relationship between Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Zelda is captivating right from the start as she is confident, playful and witty and moreso , because she is reluctant to be constrained by female social conventions. Their social life is a veritable rollercoaster of parties, dinners, performances and retreats, featuring many known artistic personalities including Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Sergei Diaghilev and Ernest Hemingway. This and the many other artistic and literary references in this book make it a very interesting read in its own right, but it is the personal lives of Zelda and F. Scott that are at its heart. For all the socializing and frivolity, their lives are tense and revolve around F. Scotts writing and desperation to be a success and Zeldas desire to be recognized in her own right. Yet for all their confrontations and disputes they cannot leave one another. I read this very quickly and found it to be an extremely entertaining read.
