Yumminess. Even though the book was about Hadley, I learned a lot about Hemingway. I liked Hadley alot and felt sad about Hemingway. Saddened by his depressionand his losses. This was well written and kept me engrossed throughout.Post script. This sent me on a search for books about the left ban...

Ernest Hemingway's First Wife Tells AllThe movie Midnight in Paris showcased the ex-pat writers in 1920's Paris: Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Their stories are enthralling. As Mary Chapin Carpenter says, "After nearly a century, there is a reason that the Lo...

This was a very lovely, atmospheric but ultimately very sad novel. The writing was beautiful and I did really like it, but I found it very difficult to stay engaged and thus it took me a very long time to finish. A nice book, but not a page turner.

I just couldn't get myself completely interested in this book. Maybe it is because I have been very busy and only was able to read this book for twenty minute periods at a time. This fictional book covers the real-life marriage between Ernest Hemingway and his first wife Hadley. This book was well w...

I couldn't connect with Hadley. She was the type of person that I never want to be. She didn't do anything with her life, she didn't have a job or any purpose in life. She was only a wife and a mother. Let's not forget how she couldn't even leave Ernest. It took her some time to realize that they ju...
