An excellent copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s fourth novel, published nine years after The Great Gatsby, depicting the lives of American ex-patriots living on the French Riviera at the twilight of the Jazz Age. As usual with Fitzgerald, there is a semi-autobiographical element to the novel and the relationship between the protagonists mirrors the lives of Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda.
Neat contemporary pencilled ownership inscription to front free endpaper, otherwise internally clean and unmarked, some trivial shelf wear to corners, gilt lettering to spine slightly dulled, notwithstanding an excellent copy, square and tight.
