      I wish I could tell everyone who thinks we’re ruined, Look closer…and you’ll see something extraordinary, mystifying, something real and true. We have never been what we seemed. When beautiful, reckless Southern belle Zelda Sayre meets F. Scott Fitzgerald at a country club dance in 1918, she is seventeen and he is a young army lieutenant in Alabama. Despite his unsuitability—Scott isn’t wealthy or prominent—Zelda falls for him, drawn by his absurd belief that his writing will bring him fortune and fame. Her father is unimpressed, but after Scott sells his first novel, Zelda boards a train north to marry him in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. At the dawn of the Jazz Age, they find unimagined success and celebrity, becoming legends of their time. Everyone wants to meet the dashing author of the scandalous novel and his witty, perhaps even more scandalous wife. Zelda embraces the wild new world, bobbing her hair and adopting daring fashions as they traverse glamorous locations like New York City, Long Island, Hollywood, Paris, and the French Riviera, mingling with the Lost Generation. Yet, as troubles arise, Zelda grapples with her identity beyond being Scott’s wife, seeking to forge her own path while battling personal demons. With brilliant insight, Therese Anne Fowler presents Zelda’s irresistible story as she might have told it.

    • Ein wunderbarer Liebesroman, der im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes von Herzen kommt - denn mit einer Blutspende beginnt die Geschichte von Joyce und Justin. So romantisch, so witzig, so berührend, wie nur Cecelia Ahern es schreiben kann.
