The Paris Wife

[chuchie]

This was one of those books I couldn't put down. Set in the 1920's, The Paris Wife is a fictional story based on Ernest Hemingway's relationship with his first wife Hadley Richardson. I fell in love with the idea of being an American writer in Paris during the 1920's, I fell in love with the idea of bullfighters putting themselves in the face of death, I fell in love with the picture of Ernest and all of his notebooks, and best of all, I fell in love with Hadley and the love she and Ernest must have had. Paula McLain is a wonderful author.

I think it's a stellar book! Has anyone else read it? What did you think?

I love love loved this book. I picked it up on a whim and immediately fell for Hadley and Ernest. I also loved the Canadian touches and shoutouts to my home town (Toronto) through out the book. I have been recommending it to all kinds of people, but I don't know if any of them read it yet.
