Zelda is a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife Zelda Fitzgerald. Zelda Sayre began as a Southern beauty, became an international wonder, and died by fire in a madhouse. With her husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, she moved in a golden aura of excitement, romance, and promise. The epitome of the Jazz Age, together they rode the crest of the era: to its collapse and their own.

From years of exhaustive research, Nancy Milford brings alive the tormented, elusive personality of Zelda and clarifies as never before her relationship with Scott Fitzgerald. Zelda traces the inner disintegration of a gifted, despairing woman, torn by the clash between her husband's career and her own talent.

The book started out as Nancy Milford's master's thesis and was published to a wider audience in 1970. Zelda was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, spent 29 weeks on The New York Times best-seller list, and has since been translated into 17 languages.

This book has slept on my book shelf for twenty plus years. I think my friends who stayed temporarily in my home left it for others to enjoy. I have not got it read, and I think it is time to send it to look for a new, more appreciative reader.

I tagged Bookworm-lady with Zelda at the European Wishlist Tag game. Enjoy!

Thank you sooo much! I am really interested in reading this one, and I'm glad my WishList rescued it for over 20 years of rest...
Thanks for the lovely card as well, I love it! :)
