I loved Zelda's writing the only reason it is not 5 stars is because Scandalabra was just not good.

Zelda Sayre. What a lovely name.
.
Zelda's writings are hard I gotta admit. It was difficult to follow her thoughts at times as she tended to ramble on different things. "Save me the waltz" her only published novel is really good. The novel is basically based on the time spent together by Zelda and her husband in France riviera. The novel also reflected Zelda overworking herself in trying to be a successful dancer and aiming to move out of the shadow of her husband’s accomplishments.

It's sad that Zelda did not really get the support she needed from her husband in regard to her writing career. She could have been a successful writer alongside him that's for sure, had he not ridiculed, scrutinised and demotivated her.

I tried to read this, but the prose was so dense that it was nearly impossible to comprehend.

I really wanted to like her because I love her husband but I was sad to find that trying to get through a single sentence was miserable. I kind of feel like I just didn't get it? I made it about half way through Save Me the Waltz and was super bored and confused. Then I moved onto short stories thinking they might be easier to get through. Wrong. They were equally as bad. She's an interesting woman but her writing did not live up to my expectations.
