About the book: 2016 / Behind every great man there is a great woman. In the case of Ernest Hemingway, there were four such women: Hadley, Pauline, Martha and Mary. Each was the wife of the most famous writer of a generation. But none could hold him back. Based on archival materials, including letters, telegrams and diaries of the characters, Naomi Wood's novel tells about the fatal love triangles that destroyed all of Ernest Hemingway's marriages. Events develop against the background of bohemian Paris of the 20s and America of the 60s of the twentieth century, with the participation of many famous characters of the era.
