Tender is the Night - Softcover

The Divers lead an idyllic life on the French Riviera. Their parties are the talk of the town, and everyone is much taken by their grace and sophistication. Their romance, too, is the stuff of fairytale: Dick Diver, a brilliant, charming clinical psychologist, is madly in love with Nicole, the bewitching, wealthy heiress who was once his patient. Behind the glamorous facade, though, trouble brews. Nicole suffers a relapse and Dick takes refuge in alcohol. And, unable to come to terms with Dicks drinking, his infidelities, and Nicoles swift descent into madness, the Divers idyll crumbles. Ambitious, ground-breaking, and perhaps the most autobiographical of all his works, Tender Is the Night proved Fitzgerald to be one of the most accomplished novelists of the Lost Generation. About the Author F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American writer born in Minnesota. Some of his well-known works include This Side of Paradise and The Great Gatsby.
