Samenvatting:

A marriage unravels in the Riviera heat in this autobiographical novel from the beloved author of The Great Gatsby. HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.

‘Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure.’

Set on the French Riviera in the 1920s, American Dick Diver and his wife Nicole are the epitome of chic, living a glamorous lifestyle and entertaining friends at their villa. Young film star Rosemary Hoyt arrives in France and becomes entranced by the couple. It is not long before she is attracted to the enigmatic Dick, but he and his wife hold dark secrets and as their marriage becomes more fractured, Fitzgerald laments the failure of idealism and the carefully constructed trappings of high society in the Roaring Twenties.
