But to those who truly knew them, the endless parties were only a distraction from their inner turmoil, and from a love that united them with a scorching intensity. <p/>When Zelda is committed to a Baltimore psychiatric clinic in 1932, vacillating between lucidity and madness in her struggle to forge an identity separate from her husband, the famous writer, she finds a sympathetic friend in her nurse, Anna Howard. Held captive by her own tragic past, Anna is increasingly drawn into the Fitzgeralds' tumultuous relationship. As she becomes privy to Zelda's most intimate confessions, written in a secret memoir meant only for her, Anna begins to wonder which Fitzgerald is the true genius. But in taking ever greater emotional risks to save Zelda, Anna may end up paying a far higher price than she intended... <p/><b>READERS GUIDE INCLUDED</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Call Me Zelda <p/></i></b>"This gem of a novel spins a different, touching story...You will love it, as I absolutely did."--Tatiana de Rosnay, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of<i> Sarah's Key </i>and<i> The House I Loved <p/></i>"In this richly imagined story, Erika Robuck has captured the creative brilliance and madness of Zelda Fitzgerald...an unsettling yet tender portrayal of two women inextricably bound by hope and tragedy."<b>--</b>Beth Hoffman, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Looking for Me <p/></i>"A Jamesian sense of the uncanny haunts Erika Robuck's poignant, compassionate portrait of Zelda Fitzgerald's desperate dance with mental illness...mesmerizing, page-turning, and provides us with a fresh, very human look at two literary icons."--Maryanne O'Hara, author of <i>Cascade <p/></i>"An emotionally charged and entertaining book."--<i><i>The Austin Chronicle <p/></i></i>"One of the most unique, well-written, and interesting novels of the year...Compelling and tragic."--Pittsburgh Historical Fiction Examiner <p/>"Lovers of the Jazz Age, literary enthusiasts, and general historic fiction readers will find much to love about <i>Call Me Zelda</i>.
