About this book

Save Me the Waltz, the only novel by Zelda Fitzgerald, is a semi-autobiographical novel which covers the coming of age of a Southern belle named Alabama Beggs during the Jim Crow era in the deep South. Alabama proceeds to marry David Knight, who becomes a famous painter. However, his success does not equal the couple’s happiness; both become increasingly disillusioned by their marriage. Alabama, searching for something to call her own, becomes a prima ballerina. Unfortunately, her success is cut short by an infection, and the two return to the South, deeply dissatisfied with their lives and marriage.

About the author

Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (1900-1948) was an American writer and socialite, and the wife of F Scott Fitzgerald. Her life with Fitzgerald in Jazz Age New York, Paris and the South of France, and her arduous training to become a ballerina in her late 20s, form the basis for her only novel, Save Me The Waltz. Zelda had mental health troubles, excerbated by her precarious sense of identity as the wife of a major artist in a period where women of her background were not expected to express themselves except decoratively. She died in a fire in the asylum where she was living.
