Great Woman's fiction.īook Club Talking Points: Talking Points: Recommend this to those who enjoy a good story and historical fiction fans. He was a damaged but fascinating personality. I look forward to more from this author and would love to read and re-read some of Hemingway's work. In summary, a very engaging read that gives life to the Hemingway's, the era and the artists that made the Cafes of Paris their workshop. It's bittersweet to witness their marriage and love for each other before things begins to deteriorate- they are so well matched, yet doomed. Hemingway is notorious for being a womanizer even knowing this you like him and can understand Hadley's attraction to him. The dialog, the descriptions, the gentle clean writing style pull you in and make you care about Hadley. It takes place primarily in Paris in the 1920's, during prohibition, a vibrant and bold time - the Jazz Age- where boundaries are blurred and traditional values are scoffed at. PBR Book Review: (by- Linda ) This story gets so much into the mind of the Hadley Richardson, Ernest Hemingway's first wife and feels so real I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction.
