Zelda Sayre began as a Southern beauty, became an international wonder, and died by fire in a madhouse. Witty, indulged, and capricious, Zelda thoroughly enjoyed exercising the prerogatives of a Southern belle. When she married F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1920, her lifestyle seemed the natural extension of her Montgomery, Alabama upbringing. She and Scott were the epitome of the Jazz Age, and 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.
