This book is the book of Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife who shared the life of American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby and others. A fictionalized version, but very well documented of his life. This novel gives voice, disturbing, fragile, tragic. A book written in the first person. The voice of a woman, living a flapper in the Roaring Twenties, swept into the vortex of the literary success of her husband, unable to free itself from its status as a woman, nor the literary influence of her husband . The novel is well researched, well written, well translated and especially ... My regret has been not to have read it in English, the original language of the novel. Another negative has been that this novel is based on real facts, and is actually a pseudo-autobiography. It deals with famous people, famous, elevated to icon of American literature. The author has a real job search, searched, and accurate, but it seemed that she was struggling to get free of the facts to really take ownership of Zelda story and make it a novel own right. In other words, many facts are set out in chronological order, with details on the various persons met by the couple Fitzgerald, the names of various places visited. It's all very well, but in the end, some events are touched and the reader may struggle to return to the novel. However, fans of the work of Scott Fitzgerald appreciate having a novel that tries to give a personal and intimate vision of this fascinating couple.
