But several have come out since then that take a more modern view of her breakdown and a more feminist view of her struggles to achieve her own success, which I think is actually more sympathetic than Mitford's take on the whole thing. But a lot more information has come to light since "Zelda" was written, so that's probably why.HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-16351133570854959112016-04-27T06:17:50.776-07:002016-04-27T06:17:50.776-07:00I read "Zelda" by Nancy Mitford many yea...I read "Zelda" by Nancy Mitford many years ago.

I'm going to check out We Were So Young from the library and maybe we can compare notes when we're done!

Thanks! I like to do theme reading on vacation and sort of immerse myself in a particular time/subject. If I can make myself, I'll finally read Tender is the Night too.

I'd like to read We Were All So Young, too. My favorite Zelda biography is Zelda Fitzgerald: Her Voice in Paradise by Sally Cline. She did a lot of research no one else ever bothered to, and it's not only a great read but also a really fair treatment of everyone all the way around.HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-59611391409037366282016-04-23T12:26:10.934-07:002016-04-23T12:26:10.934-07:00Oh how very interesting!

I have faith in SJ. If I could have sat through Midnight in Paris I might have a better idea of who she was (or wasn't actually) but I couldn't stand that movie. Was thinking I might read We Were All So Young which is about Sarah someone who was a frequent hostess of Fitzgerald and Hemingway in the south of France.
