Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald

This novel is a fictionalized, first-person account of the life of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story begins in 1918 when the beautiful, reckless Southern belle meets F. Scott Fitzgerald, a young army lieutenant who is neither wealthy nor prominent but insists his writing will bring him both fortune and fame. After Scott sells his first novel, *This Side of Paradise*, they marry and are thrust into the spotlight, becoming legends of the Jazz Age. They live a celebrated life in New York City, Long Island, Hollywood, Paris, and the French Riviera, joining the endless party of the Lost Generation that includes Ernest Hemingway. As their tumultuous life unfolds, the book explores Zelda's struggle to forge her own identity and artistic career—as a writer, painter, and dancer—while battling her own demons and those of her famous husband, giving voice to the woman who often struggled to be heard in his shadow.
