Publisher's Synopsis
The best writing to come from the pen of Fitzgerald.

"Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy." -F. Scott Fitzgerald.
"One of the most wonderful writers of the twentieth century." - Financial Times.
Tender is the Night displays Fitzgerald's astonishing descriptive powers and being fraught with emotion it holds the reader in intense psychological tension. It delves into similar themes as his other novels, is similarly autobiographical, but is set in the south of France. Fitzgerald considered Tender is the Night to be his best work.
