Against her father's disapproval, Zelda takes a leap of faith and marries Scott after he sells his first novel, This Side of Paradise.

As the Jazz Age unfolds, Scott and Zelda become icons of their time, attracting attention and success wherever they go. From New York City to Hollywood, from Paris to the French Riviera, they immerse themselves in a world of glamour and excitement. But beneath the surface, struggles begin to emerge. Zelda faces the challenge of finding her own identity while dealing with her own demons and those of Scott.

Surrounded by the dazzling Lost Generation, including famous figures like Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein, Zelda embraces the new possibilities that life has to offer. However, as the party eventually comes to an end, Zelda is left wondering who she truly is beyond being the wife of a famous, sometimes infamous, husband. Can she overcome her inner battles and emerge as a strong, independent woman in her own right?

Through Fowler's captivating storytelling, Z: The Beginning of Everything delves into the complexities of Zelda's life and showcases her resilience, strength, and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity.
