Set against the backdrop of the roaring 20s in Chicago and Paris, 'The Paris Wife' envelopes the reader in the poignant tale of Hadley Richardson and her passionate yet turbulent marriage to the illustrious Ernest Hemingway. Thrown into the limelight of Jazz Age Paris, a city pulsing with artistic fervor and hedonism, Hadley's relatively tranquil existence is upturned. As the couple mingles with legends like F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and the movers and shakers of the Lost Generation, their bond is tested by ambition, love, and betrayal. 'The Paris Wife' is not only a portrait of a significant historical epoch but also an intimate exploration of the emotional landscape that inspired some of Hemingway's most enduring literature, all narrated through the heartfelt view of his first great love, Hadley.
