About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1932. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good. First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's pale green cloth stamped in blue. Very Good or better; spotting to cloth at rear cover and spine, slight sunning to spine, former owner bookplate to front pastedown, price (.25) written in ink to front free endpaper and to top of textblock edge and several tiny stains to textblock edge, though still a pretty sharp copy. In a Very Good or better dust jacket with shallow chipping at the head of the spine, light wear at extremities, fading and water droplet to spine panel, and light soiling. A nicer copy that normally found.
Synopsis
Save Me the Waltz , the only novel by Zelda Fitzgerald, is a semi-autobiographical novel which covers the coming of age of a Southern belle named Alabama Beggs during the Jim Crow era in the deep South. Alabama proceeds to marry David Knight, who becomes a famous painter. However, his success does not equal the couple’s happiness; both become increasingly disillusioned by their marriage. Alabama, searching for something to call her own, becomes a prima ballerina. Unfortunately, her success is cut short by an infection, and the two return to the South, deeply dissatisfied with their lives and marriage.
