"First published in Great Britain by Picador, an imprint of Pan Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2014"-- Title page verso.
"The Paris Wife was only the beginning of the story. Paula McLain's New York Times-bestselling novel piqued readers' interest about Ernest Hemingway's romantic life. But Hadley was only one of four women married, in turn, to the legendary writer. Just as T.C. Boyle's bestseller The Women completed the picture begun by Nancy Horan's Loving Frank, Naomi Wood's Mrs. Hemingway tells the story of how it was to love, and be loved by, the most famous and dashing writer of his generation. Hadley, Pauline, Martha and Mary: each Mrs. Hemingway thought their love would last forever; each one was wrong. Told in four parts and based on real love letters and telegrams, Mrs. Hemingway reveals the explosive love triangles that wrecked each of Hemingway's marriages. Spanning 1920s bohemian Paris through 1960s Cold War America, populated with members of the fabled "Lost Generation," Mrs. Heminway is a riveting tale of passion, love, and heartbreak"-- Provided by publisher.

if you loved the paris wife... submitted by airgood on August 28, 2014, 11:02am This is a great companion to The Paris Wife! The book goes through the stories of all four wives, so it is necessarily a little less in-depth on each story as compared to The Paris Wife. It's a quick and enjoyable read.
