Four marriages, four perspectives

Naomi Wood’s historical novel centers the lives of Hadley, Pauline, Martha, and Mary, the four women who married Ernest Hemingway in succession. Told in four parts and drawing on real love letters and telegrams, it frames his romantic history through the women’s relationships with him and with one another. The setting moves from bohemian Paris in the 1920s to Cold War-era America in the 1960s, with the Lost Generation forming part of the historical backdrop. The structure gives each marriage its own place in a wider account of love, changing loyalties, and relationships that did not endure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in historical fiction about Ernest Hemingway’s marriages and personal life.
  • For readers who enjoy novels organized around multiple central figures and distinct sections.
  • For readers interested in the Lost Generation and settings spanning 1920s Paris to 1960s America.

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 TheWomen 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.
