Description:
One of the great literary curios of the 20th century, Save Me the Waltz is the first and only novel by the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. During the years when her husband was working on Tender is the NightÑwhich many critics consider his masterpieceÑZelda Fitzgerald was preparing her own story. The novel strangely parallels events from her husbandÕs life, throwing a fascinating light on Scott Fitzgerald and his work. In its own right, it is a vivid and moving storyÑcentered upon the confessional of a famous glamour girl of the affluent 1920s and an aspiring ballerinaÑthat captures the spirit of an era.
