The Paris Wife by Paula McClain
After WWl, Ernest Hemingway became a reporter for a Toronto newspaper and was sent to Paris where he lived with his first wife, Hadley. There they became a part of the inventive, creative intellectual life of the expatriate American crowd. Seemingly impoverished, they still lived a passionate, fascinating life among the likes of Gertrude Stein, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound and many others. The marriage didn't last although many accounts of Hemingway's life say that Hadley was his one true love. It had a bit of that Loving Frank style and is full of wonderful detail of that time and place in history.
