Zelda Fitzgerald was the 'first American Flapper' and this is her thinly veiled autobiography.
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.
The only published novel of a brave and talented woman who is
remembered for her defeats
*Some Sort of Epic Grandeur: The Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald*

*Stylist*
A strangely evocative novel, episodic in structure, painterly in
its description, almost hallucinatory in overall effect
*New York Times*
