Paris Without End

“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.
