“I wished I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.” –Ernest Hemingway
A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, Paula McLain’s stunning novel The Paris Wife captures a remarkable period of time and an extraordinary love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley. Set during the same period as Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast and The Sun Also Rises, Paula McLain’s The Paris Wife brilliantly captures the voice and heart of Hadley Hemingway as she struggles with her roles as a woman—wife, lover, muse, friend, and mother—and tries to find her place in the intoxicating and tumultuous world of Paris in the twenties.
