Sweeping biography full of details (occasionally distracting or repetitive) about the public & private life of Zelda Fitzgerald, so often remembered only as the ‘original flapper’ who married the genius writer F. Scott and partied through the Roaring 20s.
Filled with her own writings - mainly to Scott but also other family members, friends, & doctors - plus marvelous first-hand accounts that develop a richer image + deeper understanding of this talented but troubled woman.
