description: A dazzling novel that captures all of the romance glamour and tragedy of the first flapper Zelda Fitzgerald. When beautiful reckless Southern belle Zelda Sayre meets F. Scott Fitzgerald at a country club dance in 1918 she is seventeen years old and he is a young army lieutenant stationed in Alabama. Before long the ungettable Zelda has fallen for him despite his unsuitability: Scott isn't wealthy or prominent or even a Southerner and keeps insisting absurdly that his writing will bring him both fortune and fame. Her father is deeply unimpressed. But after Scott sells his first novel This Side of Paradise to Scribner's Zelda optimistically boards a train north to marry him in the vestry of St. Patrick's Cathedral and take the rest as it comes.
