The Aviator's Wifefocuses on Anne Morrow, wife of Charles Lindbergh. Loving Frank, Nancy Horan's debut novel, brings this little-remembered figure back to life, positing that Cheney had a considerable amount of influence on Wright's work even as she herself struggled to find a voice for her own creativity in an era not known for its feminist ideals. Only a decade or so before the Fitzgeralds took the world by storm and Ernest and Hadley moved to Paris, Mamah Cheney shocked Chicago society by leaving her husband and children to pursue an affair with architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Though history spoils the ending a bit-knowing that Hadley was Hemingway's first wife implies the inevitable dissolution of their marriage-the novel is a touching tale of intimacy and of Paris in the 1920s. Paula McLain's The Paris Wifepresents the story of Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley.
Many readers' fascination with the lives-and wives-of the rich, famous and creative extends beyond the Fitzgeralds. Three more novelizations of the couple's history have been released this year, with two ( Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler and Call Me Zelda by Erika Robuck) taking a particular interest in Zelda.
