“A beautiful portrait of being in Paris in the glittering
1920s—as a wife and as one’s own woman.”—Entertainment Weekly
A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wife
captures the love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest
Hemingway and his wife Hadley.
Chicago, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a quiet twenty-eight-year-old
who has all but given up on love and happiness—until she meets
Ernest Hemingway. Following a whirlwind courtship and wedding, the
pair set sail for Paris, where they become the golden couple in a
lively and volatile group—the fabled “Lost Generation”—that
includes Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Though deeply in love, the Hemingways are ill prepared for the
hard-drinking, fast-living, and free-loving life of Jazz Age Paris.
As Ernest struggles to find the voice that will earn him a place in
history and pours himself into the novel that will become The Sun
Also Rises, Hadley strives to hold on to her sense of self as her
roles as wife, friend, and muse become more challenging. Eventually
they find themselves facing the ultimate crisis of their marriage—a
deception that will lead to the unraveling of everything they’ve
fought so hard for.
A heartbreaking portrayal of love and torn loyalty, The Paris Wife
is all the more poignant because we know that, in the end,
Hemingway wrote that he would rather have died than fallen in love
with anyone but Hadley.
