Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler
4.0

This was a total impulse grab on my latest Barnes and Noble trip, but I'm so glad I picked it up. I admit that The Great Gatsby is about the extent of what I know about F. Scott Fitzgerald, so I knew even less about his wife Zelda, but this fictional take on her life and marriage and work was a great read. I felt like a dear friend of Zelda from the beginning, and loved how Fowler brought her to life in a way that was both believable and engaging. (Also-- I wish I could bounce from Paris to the States to Italy and around again every year like they did! How lovely does that sound?!)
