Description
The French Riviera in the 1920s was 'discovered' by Dick and Nicole Diver who turned it into the playground of the rich and glamorous. Among their circle is Rosemary Hoyt, the beautiful starlet, who falls in love with Dick and is enraptured by Nicole, unaware of the corruption and dark secrets that haunt their marriage. When Dick becomes entangled with Rosemary, he fractures the delicate structure of his relationship with Nicole and the lustre of their life together begins to tarnish. TENDER ISTHE NIGHT is an exquisite novel that reflects not only Fitzgerald's own personal tragedy, but also the shattered idealism of the society in which he lived.

About F. Scott Fitzgerald
F SCOTT FITZGERALD was born in Minnesota, and began writing as a schoolboy. In 1917 he left Princeton for the army and wrote in his spare moments. Then came, in 1920, THIS SIDE OF PARADISE - the first of his novels - followed by two volumes of shortstories, and then THE GREAT GATSBY, which confirmed Scott Fitzgerald as a writer of genius. His works include five novels and six volumes of short stories. He died in 1940.
