As new in paperback.

Hadley Richardson and Ernest Hemingway were the golden couple of Paris in the twenties, the focal point 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 Jack, and their fiery, tumultuous relationship severely damaged 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 at 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.

Gioia Diliberto is the author of the biographies A Useful Woman: The Early Life of Jane Addams and Debutante: The Story of Brenda Frazier, and the novels I Am Madame X and The Collection. She lives in Chicago.
