Scott's friendship with Hemingway verges on a love affair-at least it's close enough to one to make Zelda jealous. 'Fowler expertly depicts the rapture of the couple's early love, and later, the bullying and sickness that drove them apartâ€¦ Z zips along addictively.' - Entertainment Weekly ' richly imagined novelâ€¦Here touching story is also fascinating and funny, it animates an entire era.' - People 'A gorgeously rendered piece of literary entertainment, not a biography but rather a love story set in the Jazz Age.' - The Daily News 'A tender, intimate exploration of a complicated woman.' - Library Journal 'Fowler's Zelda is all we would expect and moreâ€¦once she meets the handsome Scott, her life takes off on an arc of indulgence and decadence that still causes us to shake our heads in wonderâ€¦soirÃ©es with Picasso and his mistress, with Cole Porter and his wife, with Gerald and Sara Murphy, Gertrude Stein and Alice B.
