Description
A modern classic, this edition has been restored by Fitzgerald scholar James L.W. West III and features a personal foreword by Fitzgerald’s great-granddaughter Blake Hazard and a new introduction by bestselling Amor Towles.
Set in the south of France in the late 1920s, Tender Is the Night is the tragic tale of a young actress, Rosemary Hoyt, and her complicated relationship with the alluring American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth pushed him into a glamorous lifestyle, and whose growing strength highlights Dick’s decline.
Lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative, Tender Is the Night was one of the most talked-about books of the year when it was originally published in 1934, and is even more beloved by readers today.
Reviews
Beautiful writing to the depths
5By JackAttack7433A book that lacked suspense at times, but made up for it in eloquence, wit, & a message that lies somewhere in reality with a facade of the romantic. It is what a life could turn out to be - one that I will learn from what is fulfilling or what is not. Tender is the Night is not a must read, unless of course you are a person who feels the deep desire to be needed, to help others, & to be loved...another classic by Fitzgerald.
