Description

"A bittersweet modern love
story [that] reads as easily as a novel." --Vogue

"Fascinating. . . . A detailed,
grittier portrait of the woman Hemingway loved and left." --Newsday
Hadley Richardson and Ernest
Hemingway were the golden couple of Paris in the twenties, the center of an
expatriate community boasting the likes of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gertrude
Stein and Alice B. Toklas, and James and Nora Joyce. In this haunting account
of the young Hemingways, Gioia Diliberto explores their passionate courtship,
their family life in Paris with baby Bumby, and their thrilling, adventurous
relationship--a literary love story scarred by Hadley's loss of the only copy of
Hemingway's first novel and ultimately destroyed by a devastating ménage à
trois on the French Riviera.

Compelling,
illuminating, poignant, and deeply insightful, Paris Without End provides
a rare, intimate glimpse of the writer who so fully captured the American
imagination and the remarkable woman who inspired his passion and his art--the
only woman Hemingway never stopped loving.
