The Paris Wife by Paula McLain


Meet Ernest Hemingway’s first love and first wife, Hadley Richardson. Journey with them as they travel through Europe, skiing, hiking, living life to its fullest and deeply in love. Hadley always supports and buoys Ernest’s fragile ego, which she describes as fine and strong, weak and cruel. When he becomes famous and meets Pauline, their lives are never the same. Hadley grants him a divorce and later remarries. On her 35th year of marriage, Ernest resurfaces. Is their fire of love still burning? A good historical novel!
