I did not find this to be the case for me. It has been mentioned that The Paris Wife was nothing more than an interpretation by Paula McLain of Hemingway’s The Moveable Feast.

They fell in with a lively and volatile group which included Gertrude Stein and F.Scott Fitzgerald. It was the exciting Jazz Age of Paris, hard drinking, fast living and free loving. They had a whirlwind courtship and wedding then, at the advice of friends, went to Paris where Ernest could meet the right people who would help and guide him along his path and dream of becoming a writer. Hadley thought this would never happen for her. This was Hadley Richardson a quiet twenty-eight year old who has all but given up on love and happiness – This is a quote from the back of the book. You both fall deeply and passionately in love and there is no looking back. You are at a crossroads in your life and you meet Ernest Hemingway at a party in Chicago before he became famous. Imagine, if you can, it is the 1920’s and you are a young impressionable woman.
