They were the Jazz Age'' </b><i><b>Independent </b></i><br><br>When beautiful, reckless Southern belle <b>Zelda Sayre</b> meets <b>F. Scott Fitzgerald</b> at a country club dance in 1918, she is seventeen and he is a young army lieutenant. Before long, <b>Zelda </b>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.<br><br>What comes, here at the dawn of the <b>Jazz Age</b>, is unimagined success and celebrity that will make Scott and Zelda legends in their own time. Each place they go becomes a playground:<b>New York City, Long Island, Hollywood, Paris, and the French Riviera</b> - where they join the endless party of the glamorous, sometimes doomed <b>Lost Generation</b> that includes <b>Ernest Hemingway</b>, <b>Sara and Gerald Murphy</b>, and <b>Gertrude Stein.</b><br><br>Everything seems new and possible, but not even <b>Jay Gatsby''s</b> 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.<br><br><b>''Utterly compulsive reading'' <i>Stylist</i></b><br><b><i>''</i>Brilliant'' <i>Daily Mail</i></b><br><b>''Superb''<i> Independent</i></b><br><br><b>*Therese Anne Fowler''s bestselling novel of the Gilded Age, <i>A Well-Behaved Woman</i>, is out now*</b></p>
