Call Me Zelda by Erika Robuck

3.0

This story mixes a fictional character with literary figures of the past - specifically, in this case, with Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set mostly in the jazz age, of flappers and prohibition, this novel highlights how relationships can create both inspiration and devastation. I thought the novel was well written, although the "second act" seemed a bit hurried. This could, however, have been intentional on Robuck's part and it would be interesting to actually discuss a book like this with others. I have now read three novels centred around the lives of authors writing within this time period, and I find it fascinating. Pick up Call Me Zelda if you're looking for a quick read that has a little bit of everything (drama, heartache, history, literary references, mystery, music, and romance).
