The Final Betrayal
Paula McLain's fictional memoir told by Hadley, Ernest Hemingway's first wife, of their time in Paris in the 1920s. Adapted by Sheila Yeger.
5/5 Hadley's marriage to Ernest Hemingway is coming under increasing strain, both from the pressure of his ambition and from the attentions of the woman Hadley thought was her friend, Pauline Pfeifer, who, it's now clear, is in love with Ernest. When the three of them are together in the South of France, surrounded by the fast-living crowd gathered at the Murphy's villa, matters come to a head.
