Tender is the Night

'Well, you never knew exactly how much space you occupied in people’s lives.'

American Dick Diver and his wife Nicole are the epitome of 1920s elegance and sophistication, entertaining friends and pursuing a glamorous lifestyle at their French Riviera villa. When Rosemary Hoyt, a young film star, arrives in France, she becomes entranced by the couple, but it is not long before the dark secrets of their marriage are revealed.

In this acclaimed semi-autobiographical work, F. Scott Fitzgerald explores the destructiveness of intimate relationships in a novel that captures the highs and lows of the Jazz Age.
