<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>Zelda Fitzgerald's only novel, <i>Save Me The Waltz</i> (1932) covers the period of her life that her husband F Scott Fitzgerald had been drawing on for years while writing <i>Tender is the Night</i> (1934).</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Written in six weeks and drawing from the life she shared with F Scott Fitzgerald, <em>Save Me the Waltz </em>is a classic novel of one woman's experience in a fast-moving Jazz Age society.</strong></p> <p>Alabama Beggs is a Southern belle who makes her début into adulthood with wild parties, dancing and drinking, and flirting with the young officers posted to her hometown during World War I. When Lieutenant David Knight arrives to join her line of suitors, Alabama marries him--and their life in New York, Paris, and the South of France closely mirrors the Fitzgeralds' own life and their prominent socializing in the 1920s and 1930s. In Paris, Alabama becomes fixated on becoming a prima ballerina and refuses to accept that she might not become the great dancer that she longs to be, threatening her mental health and her marriage.</p> <p><em>Save Me the Waltz </em>is a relic from The Lost Generation and the brilliant introduction from Erin Templeton shows how Alabama's struggles mirrored Zelda's own, particularly her need to have a life of her own rather than living in her husband's shadow.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (1900-1948) was an American writer and socialite, and the wife of F Scott Fitzgerald.</b> Her life with Fitzgerald in Jazz Age New York, Paris and the South of France, and her arduous training to become a ballerina in her late 20s, form the basis for her only novel, <i>Save Me The Waltz</i>. Zelda had mental health troubles, excerbated by her precarious sense of identity as the wife of a major artist in a period where women of her background were not expected to express themselves except decoratively. She died in a fire in the asylum where she was living.
