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 of them was the wife of the most famous writer of the generation. But none could hold him back. Based on archival materials, including letters, telegrams and diaries of the characters, Naomi Wood's novel tells the story of the fatal love triangles that destroyed all of Ernest Hemingway's marriages. Events develop against the backdrop of bohemian Paris in the 20s and America in the 60s of the twentieth century, with the participation of many famous characters of the era.
