Chicago, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a shy twenty-eight-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness when she meets Ernest Hemingway and is captivated by his energy, intensity and burning ambition to write. After a whirlwind courtship and wedding, the pair set sail for France. But glamorous Jazz Age Paris, full of artists and writers, fuelled by alcohol and gossip, is no place for family life and fidelity. Ernest and Hadley's marriage begins to founder, and the birth of a beloved son serves only to drive them further apart. Then, at last, Ernest's ferocious literary endeavours begin to bring him recognition - not least from a woman intent on making him her own . . .

Uma graça de livro. Penso que se o tivesse lido antes de ler os livros do Hemingway (que não gostei) teria encarado sua obra com outros olhos.
Quem sabe um dia dou outra chance ao autor.
Mas essa biografia romanceada sobre sua primeira esposa, os anos iniciais como escritor em Paris é uma delicia de ler. Vale a pena!
