A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wife captures
a remarkable period of time and a 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
and her life changes forever. 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 and Zelda Fitzgerald.

Though deeply in love, the Hemingways are ill prepared for the hard-drinking
and fast-living life of Jazz Age Paris, which hardly values traditional
notions of family and monogamy. Surrounded by beautiful women and competing
egos, Ernest struggles to find the voice that will earn him a place in
history, pouring all the richness and intensity of his life with Hadley and
their circle of friends into the novel that will become The Sun Also Rises.
Hadley, meanwhile, strives to hold on to her sense of self as the demands
of life with Ernest grow costly and her roles as wife, friend, and muse
become more challenging. Despite their extraordinary bond, they eventually
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.
