One of the better books I've read in the last couple of years, and no doubt my favorite non-fiction book of all time. Zelda wrote the most lyrical and beautiful letters I have ever read. Especially interesting is her evolution from a flighty teen to a woman with serious literary and artistic aspirations, which makes the letters towards the end of the book, when her mental state is deteriorating from letter to letter, especially heartrending. Strongly recommended if you are interested in the Fitzgeralds, 1920s literature, or love. ( )

This was a great read. These are the saddest, most beautiful letters I've ever read. Zelda really was an amazing writer. I think I prefer her letters to her fiction.
Don't read this unless you want your heart broken a million times. ( )

Possibly the most interesting, most beautiful collection of private letters I've ever been privileged to have read.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0747566011, Paperback)

Through his alcoholism and her mental illness, his career lows and her institutional confinement, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's devotion to each other endured for over twenty-two years. Now, for the first time, we have the story of their love in the couple's own letters. Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda consists of more than 75 percent previously unpublished or out-of-print letters as well as extensive narrative on the Fitzgeralds' marriage by Fitzgerald scholars Jackson R. Bryer and Cathy W. Barks. Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda features black-and-white and color photographs, and a candid introduction by Eleanor Lanahan, the Fitzgeralds' granddaughter.
