Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the British Library Writer's Award
Shortlisted for the International Dylan Thomas Prize
A Richard and Judy Book Club Selection

Mr. Ernest Hemingway: genius, husband, philanderer. Across the decades he will become a legendary writer. But behind every great man . . .

In Mrs. Hemingway, Naomi Wood retells the lives and passions of the women he loved - and betrayed - as we follow the marriages of Hadley, Pauline, Martha and Mary. Four singular, brilliant and complicated women, each wife will share the title of Mrs. Hemingway; each has their own story of the complex man at the centre of their bond.

Moving, radiant and exquisitely told, Naomi Wood's Mrs. Hemingway is a stunning exploration of the life of one man through the women that knew him.

'It takes an unusual skill to keep someone reading a story to which they think they already know the ending. But Mrs. Hemingway is so beautifully written, and evocative, that I could not put it down until the last page' - Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You

Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
