{"product_id":"9781847494054","title":"The Last of the Belles by F.Scott Fitzgerald","description":"Inspired by Fitzgerald's own courtship of his future wife Zelda, `The Last of the Belles' centres on the Southern beauty Ailie Calhoun from Tarleton, Georgia, who finds herself the object of attention of all the officers at a nearby army base, including the narrator, Andy. A wistful and melancholy exploration of unfulfilled dreams and lost youth, the story is considered one of Fitzgerald's finest pieces of short fiction.   This volume also includes other acclaimed stories - such as `Jacob's Ladder', `The Swimmers' and `The Bridal Party' - written by Fitzgerald between 1927 and 1931, during the prolonged period in which he was struggling to compose Tender Is the Night.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308364902773,"sku":"9781847494054","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847494054.jpg?v=1762807307","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847494054","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
