Produktbeschreibung

"Koslow's imagined account of the real-life affair between [F. Scott Fitzgerald] and the seductive expat is captivating." -People magazine In 1937 Hollywood, gossip columnist Sheilah Graham's star is on the rise, while literary wonder boy F. Scott Fitzgerald's career is slowly drowning in booze. But the once-famous author, desperate to make money penning scripts for the silver screen, is charismatic enough to attract the gorgeous Miss Graham, a woman who exposes the secrets of others while carefully guarding her own. Like Fitzgerald's hero Jay Gatsby, Graham has meticulously constructed a life far removed from the poverty of her childhood in London's slums. And like Gatsby, the onetime guttersnipe learned early how to use her charms to become a hardworking success; she is feted and feared by both the movie studios and their luminaries. With his mentally-ill wife Zelda away in a sanitorium, Fitzgerald fell hard for Sheilah, who would help revive his career until his tragic death three years later. Working from Sheilah's memoirs, interviews, and letters, Sally Koslow revisits their scandalous love affair and Graham's dramatic transformation in London, bringing Graham and Fitzgerald gloriously to life with the color, glitter, magic, and passion of 1930s Hollywood. "A stunning, utterly captivating read." -Kathleen Grissom,New York Times-bestselling author ofThe Kitchen HouseandGlory Over Everything "Rich in historical detail, celebrity dish, and old-fashioned human drama." -Good Housekeeping "You'll be surprised by the nuance and new details thatAnother Side of Paradisebrings to light." -Meryl Gordon,New York Times-bestselling author ofBunny Mellon: The Life of an American Style Legend "Intoxicating." -Publishers Weekly
