Behind the scenes and the characters that inspired one of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s best-selling
novels. The glitz and the glamour were the flashy cover, but what lurked behind the enviable
façade was the incandescent relationship between a narcissistic artist and his explosive muse.
The audacious behaviour of Zelda Fitzgerald was the talk of the society papers, but her time
