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.

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.
