Reviews"Zelda writes in direct yet passionate prose, Fitzgerald with a poetic flair reminiscent of his fiction. The result is an engrossing account of their love story -- full of longing and ardor, heartbreak and betrayal...their letters portray something a singular, enigmatic connection." -- Paul Alexander, The Washington Post, "Read this book for Zelda... a funny, hard-boiled observer of her own life whose letters read like short stand-up sequences... She has no secondhand impressions or turns of phrase -- everything she writes and thinks feels tart, original, lightly distressing... after reading these letters what strikes you is [the Fitzgeralds'] steadiness, a shocking word to apply to them... their bond proved stubborn and sturdy, and survived it all." - Parul Sehgal, The New York Times, "This exceptionally moving correspondence reveals two ardent and creative souls struggling with the ruthless demands of the artistic imperative." -- Booklist, "[A] pure and lovely piece of scholarship... Zelda has the most hitherto-unpublished materials here, and to read her letters is to fall in love with her." -- The Washington Post, "The flamboyant Jazz Age couple were devoted letter writers... Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda tells their love story in their own words." -- Garden & Gun, "Bryer and Barks's work leads readers through one of the most passionate love affairs of the twentieth century." -- Montgomery Advertiser
