Stylish, seductive, and shattered Riviera tales.

Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald could be a good read for those who enjoy literary fiction with complex relationships and hidden secrets. The novel captures the essence of the materialistic Jazz Age while also exploring the depths of human emotion and the consequences of desire. Fitzgerald's exquisite prose and lyrical storytelling create a haunting and unforgettable portrait of a world on the brink of change. Readers who enjoy Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's may find a similar appeal in Tender is the Night.

Description

F. Scott Fitzgerald's last completed novel, Tender is the Night is edited by Arnold Goldman with an introduction and notes by Richard Godden in Penguin Modern Classics.Between the First World War and the Wall Street Crash the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit. Among the most fashionable are psychoanalyst Dick Diver and his wife Nicole, who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt, a film star, who is instantly attracted to them, but understands little of the dark secrets and hidden corruption that hold them together. As Dick draws closer to Rosemary, he fractures the delicate structure of his marriage and sets both Nicole and himself on to a dangerous path where only the strongest can survive. In this exquisite, lyrical novel, Fitzgerald has poured much of the essence of his own life; he has also depicted the age of materialism, shattered idealism and broken dreams.
