New York:: Scribners,, 1986.. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. This posthumously published novel tells the story of a young American writer in Paris who has just published his second novel, is on an extended honeymoon on the French coast, the woman the couple is attracted to, and the erotic games the three of them play. The theme of bisexuality is the major reason this novel was published 24 years after Hemingway's death. The true test of the worthiness of this work of fiction is that the story, the characters and the writing hold up as a work by Hemingway.

Synopsis

He and his newly married wife, Catherine, spend their honeymoon in the Mediterranean. While they are there, they fall in love with a young woman, and begin to explore a deeper side of themselves. Can they navigate their own dark waters enough to hold a triad together?
