Everything in the ward seemed different now, and I no
longer felt its calming presence. The Fitzgeralds stirred
something in me that had been dormant for a long time, and I
was not prepared to face it.... From New York to Paris, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald reigned
as king and queen of the Jazz Age, seeming to float on
champagne bubbles above the mundane cares of the world. 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. 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.... READERS GUIDE INCLUDED
