Robuck, Erika

Suspenseful historical fiction for those who enjoyed Heather Webb’s Queens of London or Chanel Cleeton’s The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba.

A wonderfully emotional listen for readers of stories about romantic love, sisterly love, and love of country in the time of war.

Fans of Robuck's Hemingway's Girl and Call Me Zelda will notice a similar narrative device, a fictional woman's connection to a historical literary figure. Here readers form an immediate intimacy with both Laura and the poet because their individual narratives are woven into a single story. Full of drama with every turn of the page, this compelling novel will delight fans of romance, historical fiction, or women's fiction.

Though less biographical than other recent fictional works about Zelda (such as Theresa Fowler's Z or R. Clifton Spargo's Beautiful Fools), this historical novel will appeal to readers interested in the famous Jazz Age couple. As an intimate portrait of a mentally ill artist and wife, Robuck's latest work will be an easy read for fans of historical fiction or women's interests.
