Naomi Wood

Ernest Hemingway idazleak emakumeekin izan zituen harremanak gatazkatsuak izan ziren; segur asko emakumeekin zeuzkan harremanetan ematen zuena baino askoz gehiago jasotzea espero zuelako. Ezkontza ordenatua desiratzen zuen emakume ezberdinekin oheratzea bezainbeste eta horregatik beharbada bikotez-bikote ibili zen beti maitasun hiruki ezinezkoak sortzen. Bizitzan zehar lau emazte izan zituen eta Naomi Wooden eleberri koral honetan laurak agertzen dira: idazlearekin Parisen bizi izan zen eta bere lehen semearen ama izan zen Hadley Richardson; hasieran amorante eta gero emazte izan zen Pauline Pfeiffer Fife aberatsa; Espainiako guda zibilean harekin batera gerra-berriemaile izandako Martha Gellhorn eta ezkondutakoan kazetari lanbidea utzi zuen Mary Welsh; 1961ean, guztiei Hemingwayren heriotzaren berri eman ziena, baita emazte ohiei ere.

In the dazzling summer of 1926, Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley travel from their home in Paris to a villa in the south of France. They swim, play bridge and drink gin. But wherever they go they are accompanied by the glamorous and irrepressible Fife. Fife is Hadley's best friend. She is also Ernest's lover. Hadley is the first Mrs. Hemingway, but neither she nor Fife will be the last. Over the ensuing decades, Ernest's literary career will blaze a trail, but his marriages will be ignited by passion and deceit. Four extraordinary women will learn what it means to love the most famous writer of his generation, and each will be forced to ask herself how far she will go to remain his wife...Luminous and intoxicating, Mrs. Hemingway portrays real lives with rare intimacy and plumbs the depths of the human heart.

Decades later, in the wake of an unthinkable tragedy, Paul is haunted by a secret. When an old friend from the Bauhaus resurfaces, he must finally break his silence.Beautifully written, powerful and suspenseful, Naomi Wood's The Hiding Game is a novel about the dangerously fine line between love and obsession, set against the most turbulent era of our recent past.
