Save Me the Waltz

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 Nightâwhich many critics consider his masterpieceâZelda Fitzgerald was preparing her own story. The novel strangely parallels evens from her husbandâs life, throwing a fascinating light on Scott Fitzgerald and his work. In its own right, it is a vivid and moving storyâcentered upon the confessional of a famous glamour girl of the affluent 1920s and an aspiring ballerinaâthat captures the spirit of an era.
