Love in the Night

At the tender age of 17, half-Russian, half-American Val has a brief romance with a married woman from the United States. However, this fleeting encounter is about to change his life, forever.

Set against the backdrop of the Russian aristocracy and the heady sparkle of Cannes, ‘Love in the Night’ is a beautifully-written tale of love, loss, and hope.

Penned with the lightest of touches, we see Fitzgerald wearing his heart on his sleeve and exposing himself as a shameless romantic.

A superb gift for that special person in your life.

Born in Minnesota, Francis Scott Keys Fitzgerald (1896 – 1940), was an American novelist, and short-story writer. Considered by many to be at the forefront of American literature, most of Fitzgerald’s success can be attributed to ‘The Great Gatsby.’ This book was only a success after his death and was later to become a film, starring Leonardo de Caprio.

At the age of 13, while attending the St Paul Academy, his first work, a detective story, found its way into the school newspaper. After enrolling at the Newman School, he was encouraged by Father Sigourney Fay to pursue a career as a writer.

During his lifetime, Fitzgerald published four novels, four collections of stories, and more than 160 shorter works. He died from a heart attack, aged 44.
