Book description
'Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.'
One of the great literary curios of the twentieth century Save Me
the Waltz is the first and only novel by the wife of F. Scott
Fitzgerald. During the years when Fitzgerald was working on Tender
is the Night, Zelda Fitzgerald was preparing her own story,
which strangely parallels the narrative of her husband, throwing a
fascinating light on Scott Fitzgerald's life and work. In its own
right, it is a vivid and moving story: the confessional of a famous
glamour girl of the affluent 1920s and an aspiring ballerina which
captures the spirit of an era.
Zelda Fitzgerald
(1900 - 1948) was an American novelist and the wife of writer F. Scott
Fitzgerald. She was an icon of the 1920s. She wrote magazine articles
and short stories, and at 27 became obsessed with a career as a
ballerina. Zelda was diagnosed with schizophrenia and died in a hospital
fire.
