Mrs. Hemingway : a novel
The Paris Wife was only the beginning of the story. Hadley was only one of four women married, in turn, to the legendary writer. Just as T.C. Boyle's bestseller The Women completed the picture begun by Nancy Horan's Loving Frank, Naomi Wood's Mrs. Hemingway tells the story of how it was to love, and be loved by, the most famous and dashing writer of his generation. Hadley, Pauline, Martha and Mary: each Mrs. Hemingway thought their love would last forever; each one was wrong. Told in four parts and based on real love letters and telegrams, Mrs. Hemingway reveals the explosive love triangles that wrecked each of Hemingway's marriages. Spanning 1920s bohemian Paris through 1960s Cold War America, populated with members of the fabled "Lost Generation," Mrs. Hemingway is a riveting tale of passion, love, and heartbreak.

Summary
Mrs. Hemingway
Summer, 1926. Ernest Hemingway and his wife, Hadley, escape the blazing heat of Paris in a villa in the south of France, accompanied by the glamorous and irrepressible Fife, Hadley's best friend. Fife is also Ernest's lover. Hadley is the first Mrs. Hemingway, but neither she nor Fife will be the last. Each thought their love would last forever; each one was wrong. This is a complex portrait of the man behind the legend and the women behind the man.
