“Hadley Richardson is a naïve 28-year-old when she meets young Ernest Hemingway in 1920’s Chicago. She is swept off her feet despite the warning voice of a good friend. Don’t you know girl, you never can win? This man is going to marry words. Hadley heads with Hemmingway to Paris where they meet all sorts of literary icons like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Of course Hadley is the Paris wife; another woman will catch Hemingway’s fancy and the Paris interlude will end. In the meantime, it’s fun to read about Paris brimming with all those lions of the written word.” —Deon Stonehouse, Sunriver Books & Music, Sunriver, OR
