In Z, Fowler draws a compellingly complete portrait of that other Paris (and New York and St. Paul and Long Island) wife: mother, painter, writer, flapper, feminist Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald.’ ~USA Today
“A brilliant example of what biographical fiction can be. Read it, read it, read it.” ~ Daily Mail

“Utterly engrossing. In the spirit of Loving Frank and The Paris Wife, Fowler shines a light on Zelda, providing the voice she struggled to have heard in her lifetime.” ~Sara Gruen, NYT bestselling author of Water For Elephants
“Fowler’s Zelda is all we would expect and more, for she’s daring and unconventional yet profoundly and paradoxically rooted in Southern gentility….A lovely, sad and compulsively readable book.” ~Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
