Tender Is the Night – F. Scott Fitzgerald

"I don't want to live; I want to love first, and live incidentally."

Dick Diver, a brilliant psychiatrist, and his wealthy, unstable wife Nicole lead a glamorous life on the French Riviera in the 1920s. They attract a circle of admirers, including the young actress Rosemary Hoyt. But beneath the glittering surface, Dick's life is slowly unraveling as he sacrifices his career and identity to care for Nicole, leading to his own ruin.

Fitzgerald's final completed novel is a heartbreaking study of the disintegration of a marriage and a man. It reflects the author's own struggles with his wife Zelda's mental illness and his own alcoholism.
