Title: Hadley
First published: 1992
Description: Biographer Diliberto examines the Hemingway legend for the first time from the perspective of the only woman whom Hemingway never stopped loving, offering a rare glimpse of the writer who so fully captured the American imagination and of the woman who provided the security and freedom he needed to pursue his genius. Hadley and Ernest were the golden couple of Paris in the twenties, the focal point of the expatriate community that boasted the likes of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ford Madox Ford, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, and James and Nora Joyce. Diliberto explores their passionate, epistolary courtship, family life in Paris with baby Jack, Hadley's loss of the only copy of Hemingway's first novel, and, finally, the devastating ménage à trois on the French Riviera which severed their relationship. All his life Hemingway yearned for a woman who would love him as much.--From publisher description.
