Publisher's Synopsis
Hadley Richardson is twenty-eight years old and has all but given up on love and happiness, until she meets Ernest Hemingway. After a whirlwind courtship and wedding, the pair sail for Paris, where they fall in with a circle of lively and volatile expatriates, including F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald and Ezra Pound. Ernest and Hadley are thrust into a life of artistic ambition, hard liquor and impulsive dashes to Pamplona and the Swiss Alps. But Jazz Age Paris does not lend itself to family life and fidelity. As Hadley struggles with jealousy and Ernest's literary endeavours bear fruit, they face the ultimate crisis of their marriage - a deception that will lead to the unravelling of everything they made of themselves in Paris, their 'great good place'.
