Interesting book!

What an enjoyable ride, with all of the ups and downs one may expect. A modest yet ever-interesting narrator with strength and humanity is up against the unimaginable odds as the wife of someone like Hemmingway. Beautiful language kept me learning, the humanity kept me reading. I leave, slightly more brokenhearted but certainly fulfilled.

I read Circling the Sun first and loved it. The Paris Wife was also a great read that had me again on page 1 . I cannot wait to read her earlier work and hope her next work is already taking shape and not just an outline, She knows to tell a good story.

Correct the review from Publishers Weekly please

I found this book a bit slow - so much so that I would go for weeks without picking it up in between chapters. However, at the same time I found it a deep and thought inspiring book and would recommend it to anyone with the patience for a very detailed and in depth book.

Great book. Enjoyed it tremendously. I particularly could identify with Hadley as Ernest began his affair with Paulette. Having gone through the same thing in my marriage. I don't think Ernest would have been successful without her. He seemed to take the best of her and then her best wasn't good enough he let her go. I will certain,y read some of her other books.

Amazing book

Not my typical read, although it was a good read. I'm more interested in Hemingway's life now. Thank you for the suggested books.

I've often thought that Hadley seemed strangely absent in biographies of the outsized Hemingway--a little sad. This novelization of her story does flesh her out some and shows qualities that drew her to Hemingway in the first place. The 20's in Paris, the talents (some spinning out of control) the Bohemianism were not exactly the place for sensible, supportive Hadley but Hemingway certainly seemed to need her at that time in his life.

Very moving, gripping, and relatable in a seemingly unique time
