There are few characters in life or literature as fascinating as Zelda Fitzgerald. I assumed from the description of this book that she would figure largely in the story; however, she was a peripheral character who appeared periodically. I never engaged with Evalina, whose fragile physical and mental condition should have elicited compassion and understanding. I thought the writing and time lines were disjointed. Additionally, the detail of small things grew tedious while the noteworthy events were minimally described. For me, this was a disappointing read from an accomplished southern author.
