The fourth and final novel from the author of The Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night is his darkest, most incisive novel.
Tender is the Night tells the story of the gifted young psychoanalyst Dick Diver and his wife and patient Nicole, opening upon their arrival at a posh French resort. Written while Fitzgerald's wife was going through treatment for Schizophrenia, it explores topics including the possibility of a successful relationship and even the possibility of genuine mental health. The 1962 film adaptation included an Oscar-nominated song of the same title as the novel.
