PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY FITZGERALD on the front free endpaper: "Dear Rita To you & yours Scott." "The beginning... is a wonderful evocation of the second phase of American expatriates ensconced in glittering villas on the Riviera in contrast to the home-spun tipplers of The Sun Also Rises . The break-down of a marriage... is described with flashes of genius by an expert in self-destruction... and there is a haunting account... of the predicament of 'grace under pressure' from too many parties and too much money" (Connolly The Modern Movement 79).
