Thirty years after the smashing success of Zelda, Nancy Milford returns with a stunning second act. Savage Beauty is the portrait of a passionate, fearless woman who obsessed American ever as she tormented herself.

If F. Scott Fitzgerald was the hero of the Jazz Age, Edna St. Vincent Millay, as flamboyant in her love affairs as she was in her art, was its heroine. The first woman ever to win the Pulitzer Prize, Millay was dazzling in the performance of herself. Her voice was likened to an instrument of seduction and her impact on crowds, and on men, was legendary. Yet beneath her studied act, all was not well. Milford calls her book "a family romance"--for the love between the three Millay sisters and their mother was so deep as to be dangerous. As a family, they were like real-life Little Women, with a touch of Mommie Dearest.

Nancy Milford was given exclusive access to Millay's papers, and what she found was an extraordinary treasure. Boxes and boxes of letter flew back and forth among the three sisters and their mother--and Millay kept the most intimate diary, one whose ruthless honesty brings to mind Sylvia Plath. Written with passion and flair, Savage Beauty is an iconic portrait of a woman's life.

Love it and appreciate them
Love the necklace - special present from my husband after our baby was born. It was reasonably inexpensive but you wouldn’t be able to tell that when you see it. Mine broke after a month which is not normal. I emailed not expecting a response back….. I not only got a response but they offered to replace mine. Very happy I can wear it again!

I absolutely love this necklace. I ordered one for myself and then ordered several more for friends and family. The 16” is a great choice because there’s an option to make it longer. The product is exactly as pictured. It also ships very quickly. Excellent value for custom jewelry.
