The tagged book is a collection of letters from the couple‘s courtship in 1918 and end with Scott‘s final letter to Zelda just two days before his death (Dec. 21, 1940). “In the correspondence, both writers pour out their souls, writing about art, love, and inspiration, but Zelda‘s passages, written at various states of mental stability, are especially poignant.”

Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda includes three hundred love letters that were collected to show why their love story was called one of the greatest of the twentieth century.

I found Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda to be a beautifully done and well researched glimpse into the lives of two people who through the best and the worst. A true love story, by two of the greatest literary influences in the twentieth century!

It is the cuddles, or is Zelda as happy about this book as her human?

The letters of Zelda Sayre and her husband, who may have written a couple things.

Those kids may not have been good for each other, but they sure as heck loved each other. ❤️

This was such a gorgeous read. The author has added contextual information between sections where the letters are sparse. I recommend this to everyone because it‘s such a painfully beautiful insight to human nature for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, til death did they part.
