A heartbreaking portrayal of love and torn loyalty taken from one of the great romances in literary history, The Paris Wife is all the more poignant for knowing that at the end of his life, Hemingway wrote that he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but his wife, Hadley.

“McLain creates a compelling, spellbinding portrait of a marriage ...  Colorful details of the expat life in Jazz Age Paris, combined with the evocative story of the Hemingways’ romance, result in a compelling story that will undoubtedly establish McLain as a writer of substance.”
