Synopsis:

Southern belle Alabama Beggs is married to the successful, but philandering, artist David Knight. Desperate for David’s attention and for success in her own right, Alabama devotes herself to building, and ultimately achieving, success as a ballerina. Returning to the South following the death of Alabama’s father, the couple must confront their unhappy marriage and future together.

The only novel by Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, Save Me the Waltz is a semi-autobiographical account of her marriage to acclaimed author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Written while she was being treated for schizophrenia at the Phipps Clinic, Zelda Fitzgerald’s Save Me the Waltz is evocative of high society in the Jazz Age and a woman’s quest to define herself both within and outside of her marriage.
