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.

Mini Review:
Z: a novel of Zelda Fitzgerald was the first book I read by Therese Anne Fowler and I’m sure it won’t be my last. The author chose an interesting subject. Zelda’s story drew me in and, with help from the writing I felt like I was there with her. Jenna Lamia has a very relaxing voice, to the point where I doze off to it a few times. Because of that, I’m not sure I’d listen to something read by her again. Overall, Z was a wonderful novel. It does take a minute to “get into” but I soon became consumed and couldn’t stop listening.
This does sound good. Thanks for the tip on the narration.
