By F. Scott Fitzgerald

Book Overview

"But the question of love in the night was the thing nearest his heart...there was a lovely unknown girl concerned in it, and that it ought to take place beneath the Riviera moon." -F. Scott Fitzgerald, Love in the Night (1925) Love in the Night (1925) by F. Scott Fitzgerald was first published in the Saturday Evening Post at the height of the author's popularity as a magazine fiction writer.

Customer Reviews

A beautiful and sad story about two lonely peoples love.

F. Scott Fitzgerald capture the atmosphere of the decadence and liveful jazz-age. The book is very well written and you almost float through the book.
