Un appassionato scambio di lettere che disegna la biografia emotiva e la vita di una coppia bella e dannata, quella di Francis Scott Fitzgerald e sua moglie Zelda. Poche storie d'amore sono diventate una leggenda come questa: uno scrittore di disarmante talento che morì a quarantaquattro anni consumato dalla tubercolosi e dall'alcol, soltanto otto anni prima che l'eterna ragazza in cui aveva specchiato tutte le sue turbolente eroine bruciasse nel rogo di una clinica per malattie mentali.

Frech, abenteuerlustig und extravagant: Kaum eine andere Frau verkörpert die Goldenen Zwanzigerjahre so sehr wie Zelda Fitzgerald. Mit ihrem Ehemann F. Scott Fitzgerald führte sie ein ausschweifendes, turbulentes Leben, das sie am Ende zerstörte. Ihre Erzählungen führen mitten hinein in die glamouröse und schillernde Welt der Tänzerinnen, Sängerinnen und Schauspielerinnen New Yorks. Atmosphärisch dicht und wunderbar sinnlich erzählt sie von der hohen Kunst, sich selbst zu inszenieren, und von dem Preis, den man dafür zahlt.
