NOVELS ABOUT THE FITZGERALDS
A reader commented on last week's post and linked her blog. Through her blog I found Top Five Tuesday. This week is a freebie. I chose 5 books about F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.
Therese Fowler
Story of how Zelda and Scott met from Zelda's perspective
Erika Robuck
A (fictional) institutionalized young woman tells what it's like to be in a psychiatric hospital with Zelda
Sally Koslow
Sheilah Graham, Fitzgerald's mistress, tells the story of their love affair
Stewart O'Nan
Scott's affair with Sheilah Graham from Scott's perspective
Liza Klaussmann
About Sarah and Gerald Murphy, who hosted Scott and Zelda on the French Riviera

WOEFUL WINTER
Winter can be a time of woe. In certain places the weather traps people inside with little to do then ponder their emotions and their lives. For November and December I am reading novels with themes of emotionality - repressed longing, dissatisfaction, unfulfilled desires.... With the arrival of both a chill in the air and a new loveseat, I anticipate many a winter hour spent under a blanket with a cup of tea and a good book.
