The Garden of Eden

Ernest Hemingway began this novel in 1946 and worked on it for fifteen years, but it was published only in 1986, long after his death. It follows five months in the lives of David Bourne, an American writer, and his new wife Catherine, from their honeymoon in the Camargue to Spain and the French Riviera. Early on Catherine cuts her hair as short as a boy’s and begins to change, and their marriage changes with her.
