Zelda

Description

By Nancy Milford

The biography that recovered Zelda Fitzgerald from the footnotes of her husband’s life. Milford worked from Zelda’s letters, her hospital records and her own unfinished novel, and found a woman who wrote, painted and danced, and whose material Scott repeatedly used as his own.

It follows her from Montgomery, Alabama through the Paris and Riviera years to the succession of clinics where she spent the rest of her life, and ends with the fire that killed her in 1948.
