One of the great literary curios of the twentieth century, Save Me the Waltz is the first and only novel by Zelda Fitzgerald, who was married to F. Scott Fitzgerald. During the years when he was working on Tender is the Night, Zelda was preparing her own story, which strangely parallels the narrative of her husband, throwing a fascinating light on their lives together, and his work. In its own right, it is a vivid and moving story: the confessional of a famous glamour girl of the affluent 1920s and an aspiring ballerina which captures the spirit of an era.
