具体描述
A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wife captures a remarkable period of time and a love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley.
Chicago, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a quiet twenty-eight-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness—until she meets Ernest Hemingway and her life changes forever. Following a whirlwind courtship and wedding, the pair set sail for Paris, where they become the golden couple in a lively and volatile group—the fabled “Lost Generation”—that includes Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.
Though deeply in love, the Hemingways are ill prepared for the hard-drinking and fast-living life of Jazz Age Paris, which hardly values traditional notions of family and monogamy. Surrounded by beautiful women and competing egos, Ernest struggles to find the voice that will earn him a place in history, pouring all the richness and intensity of his life with Hadley and their circle of friends into the novel that will become The Sun Also Rises . Hadley, meanwhile, strives to hold on to her sense of self as the demands of life with Ernest grow costly and her roles as wife, friend, and muse become more challenging. Despite their extraordinary bond, they eventually find themselves facing the ultimate crisis of their marriage—a deception that will lead to the unraveling of everything they’ve fought so hard for.
A heartbreaking portrayal of love and torn loyalty, The Paris Wife is all the more poignant because we know that, in the end, Hemingway wrote that he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but Hadley.
作者简介
Author Paula McLain on The Paris Wife
Most of us know or think we know who Ernest Hemingway was -- a brilliant writer full of macho swagger, driven to take on huge feats of bravery and a pitcher or two of martinis -- before lunch. But beneath this man or myth, or some combination of the two, is another Hemingway, one we’ve never seen before. Hadley Richardson, Hemingway’s first wife, is the perfect person to reveal him to us -- and also to immerse us in the incredibly exciting and volatile world of Jazz-age Paris.
The idea to write in Hadley’s voice came to me as I was reading Hemingway’s memoir, A Moveable Feast, about his early years in Paris. In the final pages, he writes of Hadley, “I wished I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.” That line, and his portrayal of their marriage -- so tender and poignant and steeped in regret -- inspired me to search out biographies of Hadley, and then to research their brief and intense courtship and letters -- they wrote hundreds and hundreds of pages of delicious pages to another!
I couldn’t help but fall in love with Hadley, and through her eyes, with the young Ernest Hemingway. He was just twenty when they met, handsome and magnetic, passionate and sensitive and full of dreams. I was surprised at how much I liked and admired him -- and before I knew it, I was entirely swept away by their gripping love story.
I hope you will be as captivated by this remarkable couple as I am -- and by the fascinating world of Paris in the 20’s, the fast-living, ardent and tremendously driven Lost Generation.

用户评价
整本书读下来，最让我印象深刻的是那种深沉的悲剧底色，但这种悲剧又是带着一种无可奈何的美感的。它没有廉价的“大团圆”结局来敷衍读者，而是让你直面人生的不完美和遗憾。作者的叙事声音非常稳定且权威，有一种不容置疑的引导力，让你紧紧跟随她的思路。结构上的设计尤其值得称赞，那些看似不相关的片段，最终都被巧妙地编织在一起，形成一张密不透风的叙事之网。这种结构上的完整性，使得故事的每一个部分都显得至关重要，没有一处是多余的。看完后，我感觉自己的精神世界像是经历了一次洗礼，对某些人性和历史的理解都变得更加立体和复杂了。这绝对是一部值得反复品读的佳作。
评分我通常不太喜欢过于“华丽”的文笔，但这本书的风格却让我甘拜下风。它的语言风格带着一种古典的韵味，但又不失现代的流畅性，找到了一个完美的平衡点。有一种强烈的画面感贯穿始终，仿佛每一页都印着一张高质量的剧照。我常常想象作者是如何构思这些场景的，那种对光影、色彩、乃至气味的捕捉能力，简直令人叹为观止。故事的推进不是线性的加速，而是像一个精密的钟表，齿轮咬合得天衣无缝，每一次转动都带来了新的观察视角。那些潜在线索的铺陈，更是高明之处，直到故事的某个高潮点，你才会恍然大悟，原来早在那之前，作者就已经为你埋下了所有的伏笔。这本书的阅读体验，更像是一场精心策划的解谜游戏，但谜底却关乎情感的重量。
评分这本书的叙事手法简直是教科书级别的典范，作者对于时间线的处理极其精妙，总能在不经意间抛出一个钩子，让你不得不翻页。我尤其欣赏它那种娓娓道来的节奏感，没有刻意的煽情，一切情感的爆发都显得水到渠成，仿佛是自然生长出来的必然结果。角色之间的对话火花四溅，那种微妙的张力，你甚至能从字里行间感受到空气的流动和眼神的交汇。它构建了一个极其逼真且层次丰富的世界观，无论是宏大的历史背景，还是微观的日常琐事，都被描摹得入木三分。读完之后，我需要花很长时间才能从那个世界抽离出来，那种萦绕心头的余韵，实在是一种美妙的折磨。它不只是在讲述一个故事，更像是在邀请你成为那个时代、那个环境的一部分，去呼吸，去感受，去体验那些复杂的人性纠葛。那种对细节的执着，让整个故事的质感提升到了一个令人赞叹的高度。
评分坦率地说，初读的时候，我有些被它的密度给“震慑”住了。这不是那种可以随便翻翻的书，它要求你全神贯注，甚至需要时不时地停下来，消化一下作者刚刚抛出的那句带着深意的话。但一旦你沉浸进去，那种智力上的满足感是无与伦比的。作者的文字功底非常扎实，词汇选择精准而有力，很多描述性的段落，读起来简直像是在品尝一首精心打磨过的散文诗。更让我佩服的是它对人性的洞察力，那些看似简单的动机背后，隐藏着多少错综复杂的欲望、恐惧与妥协。它没有给任何角色贴上绝对的好人或坏人的标签，每个人都在自己的困境中挣扎、选择，这种真实感，比任何非黑即白的叙事都要来得震撼人心。这本书无疑是需要细细品味的，像一坛陈年的老酒，初尝可能烈，但回味无穷。
评分说句实话，我买这本书是带着一点点怀疑的，因为这类题材的作品往往容易流于表面，沦为猎奇或刻板印象的堆砌。然而，这本书完全颠覆了我的预期。它没有回避那些历史背景下女性面临的巨大困境，但叙述的基调却是克制而有力量的。它展现了女性在特定社会结构下的韧性与智慧，不是通过呐喊，而是通过每一次微妙的争取和每一次无声的抵抗。我特别喜欢作者塑造的那些配角，他们虽然戏份可能不多，但个个栩栩如生，共同构筑了这个故事世界的复杂性。这种对群体生态的描绘，比单纯聚焦于主角更为深刻。它让我思考了许多关于选择、牺牲和自我认同的议题，远超出了我阅读一本“小说”的初衷。
评分以一个细腻女子的视角 展现了那个时代独特的巴黎 艺术家 酒吧 歌声 和那个混账里充满柔情和悲剧的海明威
评分看完以后觉得没有很好，虽然描述的很真，但有些时候会混淆哪句对白是谁说的，然后看完以后只觉得女主人公是个没有多少特点的平凡的女人~
评分写的挺无聊的
评分并未熟读'流动'，不习八卦， 自觉难免无聊
评分Good is not the right word for this book. It is GREAT.
