Alabama Song

Gilles Leroy · 2007 CE · Novel · French · Contemporary

Zelda Fitzgerald speaks in her own voice from her years in a clinic, looking back over her marriage to Scott, the glittering life it promised and her thwarted writing. The novel gives the Jazz Age's most famous wife the self-narration that her husband's fiction took from her. It won the Prix Goncourt in 2007.
