The Paris Wife

In the biographical novel of the American writer Paula McLane, we get to know another Ernest Hemingway - as seen by his first wife, Hadley Richardson. They meet in Chicago when he is 20, and she is 28, and shortly after their marriage, they move to Paris to pursue Ernest's dream of becoming a writer and making literary history.

Against the background of the Jazz Age, surrounded by American bohemians of the "lost generation" led by Gertrude Stein and the Fitzgeralds, they live, love, dance, drink, walk the streets of Paris, fight for their dreams and... suffer. In short, they do everything possible to feel alive. It was then that Ernest wrote his cult novel "Fiesta. And the Sun Rises" which is based on true events and is dedicated to Hadley and their son Bambi.
